Samsung Electronics Co. is repurposing discarded ocean-bound fishing nets as a material in its Galaxy devices as part of its efforts to expand the use of eco-conscious materials.
The Galaxy S22, the first device to have the ocean-bound plastic material, will be unveiled at the Galaxy Unpacked event slated for midnight on Thursday.
According to Samsung, collecting and repurposing discarded fishing nets that amount to 640,000 tons each year are vital first steps in keeping our oceans clean, as well as preserving the planet and our collective future.
The discarded fishing nets endanger marine life and natural habitats and ultimately end up in people’s food and water sources.
The world’s largest smartphone maker said it aims to minimize its environmental footprint and help foster more sustainable lifestyles for the Galaxy community and had announced its vision for a sustainable business, dubbed Galaxy for the Planet.
The vision included using recycled material across all its new mobile products, eliminating all plastics in mobile packaging, and minimizing waste generated at its worksites by 2025.
It also said it would continue developing energy-saving technology for higher energy efficiency and less power consumption, thereby achieving nearly zero power standby consumption of smartphone chargers by the same year.
