For the first time in a Samsung Galaxy device, 50% of the cobalt used in Galaxy S24 Ultra’s battery is recycled, while all the magnets in the speaker are made from 100% recycled rare earth elements. It also includes a minimum of 10% pre-consumer recycled TPU in the side and volume keys. Additionally, every Galaxy S24 series is packaged in 100% recycled paper. Looking forward, we aim to incorporate at least one recycled material in every module of all its mobile products by 2030, advancing its commitment to sustainability.
When it comes to plastic use, we strive to replace single-use plastics with recycled plastics or other ‘more sustainable’ materials. We have already cut the plastic material in the packaging of the Galaxy series from 51% in 2017 to just 4%. But we are not stopping there!
Samsung is working towards the full elimination of single use plastics from mobile packaging by 2025. Samsung designers are exploring how to replace every component of the box with alternative materials , such as paper, sugarcane and other novel fibers. This is to not only step away from plastic, but to make our packaging recyclable or compostable.
In order to extend the product lifespan, Samsung Galaxy S24 has been designed to have a longer product lifecycle, so Galaxy users can enjoy premium experiences for as long as possible. The latest Galaxy S series comes with seven generations of OS upgrades and seven years of security updates. Backed by Corning® Gorilla® Armor, Galaxy S24 Ultra is also scratch-resistant and more durable than before 🤳
