On top of that, the world has been grappling with another cruel reality in the form of a water shortage that\u2019s growing more serious by the day due to global warming. But what if there were a way to harness innovation to help restore marine ecosystems and save water?<\/p>\r\n<p>Samsung Electronics has rolled up its sleeves to tackle the marine pollution issue that is threatening the safety of humankind and the environment. The company\u2019s eco-conscious efforts include recycling discarded ocean-bound plastic (OBP) located within 50km of the coast and using recycled materials to produce high-resolution monitors and Galaxy devices.<\/p>\r\n<p>In addition, the eco-conscious water treatment technology that\u2019s currently being used at the manufacturing sites of Samsung\u2019s Device Solutions (DS) division significantly reduces water usage, reusing an amount of water equivalent to the total usage of two million people over half a year. Efforts like these underline Samsung\u2019s commitment to conserving water.<\/p>\r\n<p>Check out the infographic below to learn more about how Samsung is reducing marine pollution by transforming OBP into parts for monitors and mobile devices including smartphones, and by purifying wastewater at its semiconductor plants.<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51085\" src=\"https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/24095404\/Samsung-Efforts-to-Reduce-Marine-Pollution-Infographic.png\" alt=\"Samsung-Efforts-to-Reduce-Marine-Pollution---Infographic\" width=\"1000\" height=\"6623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/24095404\/Samsung-Efforts-to-Reduce-Marine-Pollution-Infographic.png 1000w, https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/24095404\/Samsung-Efforts-to-Reduce-Marine-Pollution-Infographic-232x1536.png 232w, https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/24095404\/Samsung-Efforts-to-Reduce-Marine-Pollution-Infographic-309x2048.png 309w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each year, countless marine organisms die from getting entangled in discarded fishing nets.
