Samsung has announced a bunch of eco-friendly accessories for Galaxy devices. The company collaborated with various brands and designers to make cases, straps, and other types of accessories for its smartphones, tablets, Galaxy Book laptops, watches, and wireless earbuds. The Korean firm says there are 55 new so-called “Samsung Eco-Friends” accessories in total.
According to an official announcement from Samsung, these products are made with environment-friendly materials such as recycled plastics. The accessories contain more than 40% of PCM (Post Consumer Material) and vegan leather. The cases and straps feature unique designs made by popular artists from all over the world. These include late American pop artist Keith Haring and an Italian creative studio famous for the magazine called Toiletpaper.
Samsung has also used Smileys and designs from K-pop bands BTS and Stray Kids on these accessories. It teamed up with mobile accessory maker Slash B Slash for the production of the accessories. The products will be available for the Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Tab S9 series, Galaxy Watch 6 series, Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, The Freestyle smart projector, and more Galaxy devices.
If you have a Galaxy Z Flip 5, Samsung is offering a nice little freebie with these eco-friendly accessories. You can scan the QR code attached to the case to download a matching wallpaper. Moreover, users who have previously purchased the NFC-based Flipsuit case for the foldable can purchase a Samsung Eco-Friends Flipsuit card to decorate the case and the device while contributing towards environmental causes. The Flisuit case costs $60 and is available from Samsung’s official website.
Samsung’s new eco-friendly Galaxy accessories are available starting today
All of these eco-friendly accessories for Samsung devices are available to purchase starting today. The company has initially released the products in its home country South Korea where you can buy them from its newly-opened flagship store in Gangnam. They are also available online from the Slash B Slash website (slbs.shop). The Korean firm says the accessories will roll out to more than 40 countries around the world in the coming months.
