San Francisco: Google has pledged to make its product packaging 100 percent plastic-free and completely recyclable by 2025.
Currently, the back housing (or the back cover) of the recently launched Pixel 5 is made with 100 percent recycled aluminum, Google said in a statement.
- Google said it has already made a reduction in plastic use in its packaging since 2016, but it has "a lot of hard work ahead in order to meet this new goal".
- "To get us there, we need to uncover alternative, recyclable materials that will still protect our products," said David Bourne, Sustainability Systems Architect.
- Last year, Google committed that all of its products would include recycled materials by 2022.
"For our latest Nest Thermostat, we made the trim plate from 75 percent post-consumer recycled plastic".
"Our new 50 percent commitment raises the bar well beyond industry standards"., the company said.
