After removing the inb-box charger from the S21 series, Samsung has partnered with a premium textile brand Kvadrat, to provide users with more options when it comes to making eco-conscious choices for the Galaxy S21+ users. Under this partnership, both companies have generated mobile accessories that promote upcycling and sustainable production methods.
According to the company’s claims, the
exterior, interior, and accessory hooks are produced with upcycled materials and
sustainable production methods. For the uninitiated, Upcycling, also known as
‘creative reuse’, is the process of transforming end-of-life products into new
materials that not only are of better quality than the original, but also
benefit the environment.
Also, the new sustainable cases come in
packaging made entirely from paper, unlike conventional case packaging that
often contains plastic products. These phone cases are made up of re-purposed
500ml plastic bottles that are melted and reformulated into textile yarns.
These recycled yarns help to reduce the number of plastic bottles found in
landfills. Furthermore, these are produced in a way that reduces the amount of
carbon dioxide emitted during manufacturing as compared with traditional
material processes.
The Galaxy S21+ 5G Kvadrat case comes in
Violet and Gray colours, is priced at Rs. 2499 and is available from Samsung
India eStore as well as offline stores.
