Discover how much of your Galaxy S24 is made from recycled materials! Here's the breakdown
Samsung Electronics released its 2024 Sustainability report, showcasing the company's strategies and accomplishments in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) areas. The report highlights Samsung’s ongoing efforts in sustainable management, but let's see what that means for smartphone users and Galaxy S24 owners in particular.

Samsung's report places significant emphasis on the use of recycled materials in its products. The Galaxy S24 series, in particular, incorporates substantial recycled content.

That's because Samsung aims to achieve net-zero carbon emissions for its device business in the coming years by overhauling its processes from development and production to usage and recycling – something that every major company out there tries to do.

The company is increasing its use of recycled materials, including aluminum, glass, and various recycled plastics in its products.
