Samsung talks about using discarded fishing nets for its “new Galaxy devices”
No prizes for guessing what that “new Galaxy device” is.
Samsung's sustainability blog post teases its efforts in reducing ocean plastic waste.
In an interesting teaser dropped by Samsung, the Korean electronics firm posted about its sustainability efforts and its aim to minimise its environmental footprint.
The blog post said that Samsung will incorporate repurposed ocean-bound plastics in its product lineup, starting with its “new Galaxy devices that will be revealed on 9 Feb 2022’s Unpacked”.
So, it looks like Samsung Galaxy S22 phones aren’t just going to be great for low-light photography, but also eco-conscious in its creation.

According to Samsung, the company looked into using the 640,000 tonnes of discarded fishing nets in our oceans by “giving new life” to what was once sea pollutants. Getting rid of these nets are “vital first steps” in keeping oceans clean, and it helps the company use such innovation to provide “tangible environmental actions”.
