Samsung plans to use recycled plastic from discarded fishing nets in its products, starting with its upcoming Galaxy devices.

According to the announcement, Samsung has found a way to convert discarded ocean plastic, in this case fishing nets, into a new material that it can use to build components for future devices. This is in line with Samsung’s Galaxy for the Planet program, announced in August 2021, which aims to improve sustainability and minimize environmental impact.

“Now and in the future, Samsung will use recycled ocean plastics across our entire product lineup,” Samsung said in the announcement. “We’re starting with our new Galaxy devices, which we’ll unveil at Unpacked on February 9.”

It hasn't yet been announced which new Galaxy devices these will be, but there are strong indications that the Galaxy S22 could be part of the lineup.
