Samsung launches updated programme to recycle old Galaxy devices

Samsung Electronics has unveiled an updated programme to recycle old mobile devices at home with Internet of Things (IoT) technology as part of the South Korean tech titan’s vision for a sustainable future.

Samsung unveiled “Galaxy Upcycling at Home” programme at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2021 late on Monday.

“The new programme reimagines the lifecycle of an older Galaxy phone and offers consumers options on how they might be able to repurpose their device to create a variety of convenient IoT tools,” the company said.

The latest programme is an update to its Galaxy Upcycling campaign that was recognised by the US Environmental Protection Agency as a solution for used mobile devices.
