Our products give a
new
life to materials

Samsung Electronics continuously seek to expand the application of recycled and recyclable materials to our products. We developed innovative technology to recycle discarded fishing nets, a type of plastic debris that threatens the marine environment, and continue to diversify the types of recycled and recyclable materials used in our products, including recycled aluminum and glass, to improve resource circularity.

Plastic recycled from discarded fishing nets has been applied to smartphones including Galaxy S22 series, S23 series, Z Fold4/Flip4, Buds2 Pro, Galaxy Book3 series, remote control for our lifestyle TV models (inner parts and bracket), Jet Cordless Stick Vacuum 4.0 series (filter), and the attachable Less Microfiber Filter.

We also used recycled aluminum in the Galaxy S23 series and the exterior of the Bespoke Infinite refrigerator line, while we continue to expand the application of recycled glass.

The longer the product
lifespan, the less
resources consumed

We continue to increase the lifespan of our products because longer lifecycles often mean fewer resources consumed and less carbon emitted.

To reduce the environmental impact of our products, we study and apply ways for our customers to use our products longer.

Not just thrown away
but repurposed

When we switch to a new product, where does the used product end up?

If you think about it, products made from various raw materials are a complex mix of resources. Our e-waste product collection and recycling process allows for e-waste to become ingredients for new products.
