Samsung to release new eco-friendly line of smartphones

Samsung is a brand that inspires through innovation. The detailed insights about their initiatives are thought-provoking and startling. To begin with, the brand works on the principle of ‘no compromise on environmental issues and the electronics are manufactured using environmentally sensitive substances. Their continual efforts are directed towards energy saving while maintaining a high level of efficiency. This is best demonstrated in the new range of Galaxy devices that they are all set to launch.

The uniqueness of these products is the use of discarded fishnets in the manufacturing process which is directly proportional to the decreased usage of single-use plastics. Along with this, there is an increased dependence on the utilization of eco-conscious material.

Another admirable initiative that Samsung has taken up is utilizing a large portion of the 640,000 tonnes of fishnet that are discarded annually. As an attempt to save the environment, the company is pledging to clean up the ocean as much as possible.

In the past year the brand has reduced plastic usage by a marked degree of 20% through package redesigning, and the inclusion of power-saving features. Furthermore, they have been responsible for collecting 5 million tonnes of E-waste and recycling approximately 95% of it.  In nations like the US, China, and Europe it operates on 100% renewable energy.

They are slowly inching their way towards attaining certifications such as the Carbon Trust Standard reduction of CO2 with increased usage of non-recyclable materials. Clearly, being environmentally conscious is not just another heading in the company documentation at Samsung; on the contrary, every organisation should follow their lead and try to innovate their processes in order to help avert the oncoming climate crisis.

You will be happy to know that you are doing your bit even by simply using a Samsung Galaxy Smartphone. Because the device is made using a material called Polyketone. This material plays a crucial role in the reduction of carbon monoxide which is a greenhouse gas.

The brand’s recent S21 has been accredited with the ‘Reducing CO2’ certificate from the carbon trust. They have used minimal products in every stage from manufacturing to distribution. Since 2012, Samsung is trying to address the concern of power waste by decreasing the standby power consumption of its Galaxy smartphone.

Has this made you pause and wonder, what are you doing for the environment? Little by little, each of us together can make a big difference. Whether as an individual or an organization as a whole, it’s time to act!
