Samsung Unveils Solar-Powered Eco Remote for its 2021 TV Lineup
Jan. 9, 2021Theannouncementof this new environment-friendly Eco remote came recently from the Korean company and according to its claims, this will“reduce tons of plastic waste per year”. The remote is designed to last for up to seven years which is the average life cycle of a single TV set.
Now, from the front, the Eco remote looks like any other remote controller of a smart TV. However, flipping it around, you will notice that there is a longintegrated solar panel at the backthat juices up the internal rechargeable battery without any power source.
This means that you won’t have to buy a bunch of AAA batteries to power the remote anymore. As it has a solar panel at the back, it is best to use the remote withSamsung’s all-weather Terrace TV.
Moreover, Samsung states that the device is made of 31g of plastic, out of which 28% comes‘from recycled polyethylene terephthalate.‘ So, it is likely to heavily reduce the amount of plastic waste generated in today’s world, which is pretty much needed to reduce the rate of global warming and climate change.
The company also recentlydeleted a Facebook post, where it mocked Apple fornot including a charging adapterin its iPhone 12 retail boxes. So, it is now pretty much confirmed that the companywill be excluding the charging adapterfrom the Galaxy S21 retail boxes too (much like Apple and Xiaomi), for the sake of the environment.
