Since 2016, Samsung has taken major steps to develop sustainable packaging by simplifying packaging solutions, replacing plastic packaging with paper (or other sustainable materials) packaging and redesigning products.
Such a strategy is specific to circular sourcing models that aim to replace traditional materials with renewable or bio-based materials, with the long-term goal of reducing the extraction of natural resources.
To redesign product packaging, Samsung has formed a task force to design and develop, procure, market and quality control innovative packaging ideas.
