The new Galaxy Z Flip5 and Z Fold5 represent yet another step in this commitment to design technology that breaks barriers while aiming to minimize the impact on the environment.
A Wider Variety of Recycled Materials in More Components
Earlier this year, Samsung expanded its innovative use of recycled materials in product design with the Galaxy S23 series, introducing new materials to more components.
The Galaxy Z Flip5 and Z Fold5 advance these efforts, featuring a wider variety of recycled materials1 in more internal and external components than previous Galaxy Z series smartphones.
The newest foldable smartphones incorporate pre-consumer recycled aluminum and post-consumer recycled plastic sourced from discarded fishing nets, water barrels and PET bottles.
They also scale the use of Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2, which contains an average of 22% pre-consumer recycled glass content.
Not only did Samsung add more types of recycled materials used in each device, but the company also more than doubled the amount of device components that use a minimum of 10% post-consumer recycled plastic or pre-consumer recycled glass, or an average of 22% pre-consumer recycled glass.
Both the Galaxy Z Flip5 and Z Fold52 use recycled materials in 15 device components, an increase from six internal components in the Galaxy Z Flip4 and Z Fold4.
When it comes to packaging, Samsung continue to advance its efforts to reduce the presence of single-use plastic.
That’s why the paper for the packaging box3 is made using 100% recycled material.4 The company also switched to recycled paper material for the front and back cover protector.
A Device Lifecycle That Lasts Longer
The Galaxy Z Flip5 and Z Fold5 continue Samsung’s work to optimize the longevity and improve the upgradability of its smartphones.
Each device comes with five years of security updates and four generations of OS upgrades, helping to extend the product lifecycle.
As a result, the Galaxy community can reliably enjoy their devices for a longer period of time, enabling them to make eco-conscious choices in their daily lives.
