Samsung makes another significant step toward sustainability, with eco-friendly recyclable cardboard packaging

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 11 August, 2020 Samsung has announced it will introduce a new eco-friendly packaging across its Lifestyle TV product portfolio in efforts to reduce the environmental footprint. Samsung’s new ‘eco-packaging’ made from eco-friendly corrugated cardboard will be applied to The Serif and The Frame, allowing customers easier recycling as well as upcycling of the cardboard boxes for creative reuse.

 

Samsung has applied a dot matrix design on each side of its eco-friendly corrugated cardboard boxes, allowing customers to cut the boxes more easily and assemble them into various other uses, such as small end tables or houses for pets.

 

Included within the packaging is a manual to guide customers on how to make household items out of the cardboard boxes, which can be accessed by scanning the QR code on the box. Owners of The Serif who tend to put shelves and furniture around the TV can build cat houses, magazine racks and even shelves from the cardboard boxes to store household items and electronic devices, including the remote control.

 

Earlier this year, Samsung had already won CES 2020 Innovation Awards for its eco-packaging concept for promoting the efficient use of resources. As part of the rollout of the new eco-packaging, Samsung and Dezeen, a British lifestyle magazine, held a global design competition in April, where the two companies awarded the most unique and practical designs and applied the designs into its eco-packaging manual.

 

“Consumers are more likely to purchase from a brand that shares similar fundamentals and values as they do, and with our eco-packaging, we believe that we can provide our customers with a modern solution that considers the environment as an important way to express themselves,” said Nivash Ramsern, Head: Visual Display at Samsung South Africa.
