Galaxy for the Planet

Since the launch of the Galaxy S22 series, Samsung has incorporated recycled materials not just in their packaging, but also in the hardware of their new products. These are the first steps in Samsung’s Galaxy for the Planet initiative, which includes their continued incorporation of recycled plastics and the creation of new materials in partnership with leading sustainability partners.

Samsung continues to pursue innovations in sustainable manufacturing, they are proud to announce that more than 90% of the new Galaxy Buds2 Pro is made with recycled materials. The new Galaxy Z series also incorporates ocean-bound plastics into key components and 100% recycled paper for its packaging.

Samsung also reduced volume of the packaging up to 58% compared to the first-generation Galaxy foldables. This equates to an avoidance of approximately 10,000 tons of carbon emissions from transportation this year.

“Samsung is taking consistent and impactful actions that help protect people and the planet. We marry sustainability and innovation in everything we do,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “I am proud of our progress to date.
