Samsung is trying to do its part in cleaning up the ungodly amounts of plastic floating around in our oceans. The company says it’s developed a new material made by repurposing abandoned fishing nets that wind up polluting the ocean, and is planning to use said material for its Galaxy devices from here on out.
Samsung should be commended for developing a clever solution to reducing its need for new plastic, but we’re pretty far from cleaning up the 14 million tons of plastic that gets introduced into the ocean every year. At least other companies have also stepped up to the plate in trying to address the ongoing climate crisis and the deteriorating health of the ocean.
