A sustainable world, what do you think? As it is barely 2022 and the new edition of CES is currently being held in Las Vegas, Jong-Hee “JH” Han, vice president and CEO of Samsung Electronics said he is working for a better, more responsible world and ecological.
Samsung hopes for a greener world
While CES is a major event dedicated to technological innovation, and the realm of consumption, the CEO of Samsung Electronics explains that the company is doing everything possible to make its products more sustainable. “The life cycle of our products is designed to minimize the impact on the environment”, he said during the Samsung keynote which took place yesterday.
For Jong-Hee Van, small changes can make a huge difference to our carbon footprint. We totally agree. For example, Samsung reduced its carbon dioxide emissions for chips to 700,000 tonnes last year. A first step …

In order to persevere in this more responsible path, Samsung recalls that it uses more and more recycled materials in its products. In this way, the South Korean company uses thirty times more recycled plastic than last year. Samsung’s goal is to use only recycled plastic by 2025. A good goal. As for what’s inside the boxes of the products, Samsung is saying goodbye to polystyrene or plastic.
In short, Samsung is saying yes to a more responsible and greener world in 2022. To continue moving in the right direction, the company has unveiled its collaboration with the Pantagonia brand. The idea? Eliminate microplastics in nature. Tiny and difficult to see with the naked eye, this waste is nevertheless extremely harmful to the environment. The two companies are working hand in hand on filters in washing machines that would recover these microplastics before they end up in our oceans and seas.
Also at CES, the South Korean company unveiled a new kind of remote control, which does not need batteries to operate. Enough to support his desire to consume more responsibly.
