Preserving the planet's resources with sustainable materials
Samsung is committed to creating a cleaner economy with environmentally-conscious materials in packaging and product design. Here's how we're doing it.
Reusing half a billion pounds of recycled plastics
Since 2009, Samsung has reused over 310,291 tons of recycled plastics globally
in products and is on track to reach our goal of 500,000 tons by 2030.
Shrinking our
packaging footprint
Samsung is committed to our goal of eliminating all plastics in mobile packaging and incorporating recycled material in all new mobile products by 2025, with 100% of all plastics used to contain recycled material by 2050.
Thinking ahead with environmentally conscious materials
As part of our commitment to improving the future for people and the planet, Samsung products are made in part with a range of recycled plastics, bioplastics and sustainable materials. And we continue to reduce and replace plastic packaging in favor of recycled materials and sustainable paper.
