Samsung, in collaboration with sustainable
textile brand Kvadrat, is going to launch a new accessory line for the Galaxy
S20 Plus and the Galaxy Watch Active2. The Danish textile brand has the
European Union’s Ecolabel certification under its belt and is providing textile
fabrics made from recycled plastic bottles. The process of the recycling
consists of melting the bottles and then reformulating them into textile yarns.
According to Samsung’s press release, one plastic bottle can produce 2 Galaxy
S20 Plus cases.
Another version of the case is the Global
Goals edition one. In collaboration with the UN Development Programme for
climate action, Samsung has developed the Global Goals program, a plan to
eliminate hunger, fight inequality, and clean up the planet. A portion of the
revenue from the sales of that version of the Kvadrat case will be donated to
the UNDP in support of the aforementioned goals.
Alongside phone cases, Kvadrat has
provided design for watch straps for the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2.
Additionally, if you wish to get more involved with Samsung’s initiative for a
better environment, you can download the Samsung Global Goals app. The app
allows you to access information on facts and figures on every goal that
Samsung is working on, or donate directly to one or more of the causes.
