The Galaxy S23 smartphone<\/a> series will have less environmental impact than previous generations as Samsung<\/a> has incorporated recycled materials in more device components than in any other previous Galaxy smartphone. It has also designed the packaging box using 100% recycled paper.
The recycled materials includes pre-consumer recycled aluminum and glass and post-consumer recycled plastics sourced from discarded fishing nets, PET bottles, and water barrels.
Samsung said that the presence of recycled materials in the Galaxy S23 series has also been increased, rising from six internal components made from eco-conscious materials in the Galaxy S22 Ultra to 12 internal and external components incorporating recycled materials in the Galaxy S23 Ultra.
“Samsung opens up endless possibilities that enrich our lives and help create a more sustainable future. It's the result of innovation and sustainability working together without compromise and open collaboration with like minded partners to help us to bring the best experiences,” Samsung's Head of North America Corporate Sustainability, Mark Newton said.
Newton added that Samsung has used a wider variety of recycled materials, including pre-consumer recycled aluminum and glass, for use in Galaxy devices<\/a>.
“By continuing to increase recycled materials in Galaxy devices<\/a>, this helps us reduce our impact on the environment. Specifically, the use of recycled ocean-bound plastics in the Galaxy S23 series could prevent more than 15 tons of discarded fishing nets from entering the world’s oceans by the end of 2023, helping to reduce ocean pollution,” he said at the Galaxy Unpacked 2023 event.
Samsung’s Galaxy S23 series comes with up to four generations of OS updates and five years of security updates, which will reduce the need to upgrade your devices as often.
The Korean major has a net zero commitment for climate impacts by 2050 for all operations and net zero by 2030 for all equipment businesses such as home appliances, mobile phones and consumer electronics among others.
