Samsung Electronics Co. aims to broaden the use of recycled plastic materials in all its smartphone products by 2050 and stop using plastics in packaging by 2025.
The impact of Samsung’s campaign on the environment is quite considerable given its vast product portfolio, according to Park Sung-sun, executive vice president and head of the Mechanical R&D Team of Samsung’s Mobile eXperience division.
The newly-launched Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra uses 12 internal and external components made from eco-conscious materials, up from six in its predecessor.
The Galaxy S23 and Plus models use 11 such components each.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra uses recycled plastics from discarded PET bottles in the back glass and front case, and recycled aluminum in the side key, volume key and SIM tray. Its front and back glasses contain an average of 22 percent of recycled content,.
Samsung said the use of recycled ocean-bound plastics in the new flagship series could prevent more than 15 tons of discarded fishing nets from polluting the oceans by 2023.
Additionally, Samsung has been collaborating with partners to increase the recycling of precious metals like gold and cobalt, Park noted.
