Our oceans, while vast and beautiful, aren\u2019t much more than massive landfills for the human species. We have hardly begun to live in harmony with these bodies of water, instead only using them for food and a dumping site. Having grown up on the beaches of Northern California, I can confirm that when it comes to trash and recyclables in the ocean, people really do suck. With that said, Samsung, whose own hands are dirty and responsible for loss of aquatic life due to pollution<\/a>, wants to help.<\/p>\n

Samsung announced this week that it is using discarded ocean fishing nets and repurposing them into a material that is to be used for the Galaxy S22 lineup. They don\u2019t mention specifically which parts or how they are accomplishing this, but they are. It could be an internal piece of plastic or maybe a plastic coating somewhere?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an excerpt from Samsung\u2019s announcement, detailing that this is merely a first step in Samsung\u2019s journey to help our oceans and planet.<\/p>\n

\n

Now and into the future, Samsung will incorporate repurposed ocean-bound plastics throughout our entire product lineup, starting with our new Galaxy devices that will be revealed on\u00a0February 9th<\/sup>\u00a0at Unpacked. These devices will reflect our ongoing effort to eliminate single-use plastics and expand the use of other eco-conscious materials, such as recycled post-consumer material (PCM) and recycled paper. With this transformation, the future of Galaxy technology will bring leading product design and deliver better environmental impact.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Thank you, Samsung.<\/p>\n

Samsung\u2019s Unpacked kicks off at 10AM Eastern on February 9. We\u2019ll definitely be bringing you all of the coverage for that.<\/p>\n
