Samsung just debuted a “world-first” color e-paper display that relies on a bio-resin derived from phytoplankton – and it’s a major leap forward for sustainability.
As explained in its announcement, Samsung’s new 13-inch Color E-Paper display’s housing is made from 45% recycled plastic and 10% phytoplankton-based bio-resin. This might not sound like a lot, but the design choice leads to a reduction in the amount of conventional petroleum-based plastics used to make the screen, and according to Samsung an over 40% reduction in carbon emissions for the manufacturing process compared with traditional materials.
