Here’s some good news for the environment. Samsung recently announced that the company will start taking steps this year to replace plastic packaging materials with paper and other environmentally sustainable elements.
Packaging for their phones, tablets, and other accessories will be substituted with environmentally sustainable materials like recycled/bio-based plastics and paper. By 2030, Samsung aims to use 500 thousand tons of recycled plastics and collect 7.5 million tons of discarded products (both cumulative from 2009).
