Apple, and Samsung Score High on Sustainability: What It Means

Last Updated: December 29, 2022, 18:07 ISTSamsung has used sustainable materials to make its new devices.More companies are adopting sustainable measures for production and sales

with the impact on the environment becoming a concern.Apple and Samsung have a strong lead over other phone manufacturers when it comes to sustainable operations. Both these

companies have adopted strategies that utilize recycled materials for production and also use energy-efficient methods to make devices. According to a new industry report, Apple

leads the charts with its growing influence on reducing carbon footprint in the environment, while Samsung has slowly picked up its own sustainable path that is showing its impact.

The main criteria to be judged in this segment involves three stages; production, usage and end of life. Their packaging is the first thing you notice has come down, and even the

materials used to make the boxes are recycled. We have also seen brands ditch the adapter in the box, which seems to have helped in reducing the packaging. The next phase has to be

usage, which not only involves the person using a phone but more to analyzing how long they are able to use it, which includes the repair of the device and how easily parts are

made available to increase the longevity of the products. Both Apple and Samsung score high in different aspects, while their Chinese counterparts are slowly joining the ranks of

sustainability. And finally, you the end-of-life situation, which mostly details the efforts made to refurbish existing phones and reduce e-waste. Countries across the globe also

want to standardize the charging ports for mobile devices, which could also play a significant role in cutting down the amount of e-waste in the coming years. It is clear that the

giants of the industry have started adopting less straining resources for manufacturing but with the volumes angling towards other companies, it is imperative that more of them

join Apple and Samsung to not only reduce e-waste but also employ materials that are less harmful to the environment.Read all the Latest Tech News here TechDeskTech Desk: Get the
