Fishing nets and PET bottles were also removed from the oceans, recycled and used by the Korean company when manufacturing its new cell phones.
The glass screen, despite having impact protection to prevent breakage, also comes from recycled waste. citrus cites that small pieces of glass, which would be discarded by a company, were reused in smartphones so that the model uses the least amount of “material from scratch” possible. The same goes for the aluminum of the volume buttons, SIM card tray and other parts of the new Galaxy S23.
Now, the line of smartphones has 12 recycled internal components. That's double what was seen on line Galaxy S22. The company also mentions that the packaging is made of 100% recycled paper so that care for the environment is carried out even in the smallest details.
