Today, Samsung shared a few extra details on the new eco-friendly Galaxy S21+ protective case and how it was designed in collaboration with Kvadrat. Like to last twelvemonth, the new Kvadrat Cover is a issue of Samsung's Upcycling for Good program wherein the company aims to nurture an eco-friendly surroundings and give customers a choice to participate.

The Galaxy S21+ Kvadrat Encompass was manufactured from upcycled plastic bottles that were collected, melted downwardly and reshaped into 100% polyester yarn. The yarn was then dyed in two different colors, Violet and Mint Gray, to match the Galaxy S21+ exterior, and was then woven into textile for the case. According to Samsung, a recycled 500ml plastic bottle can produce enough yarn for two Kvadrat Covers.

The new Milky way S21+ Kvadrat Embrace comes with a recycled inner frame

While the exterior of the Milky way S21+ Kvadrat Embrace has a textile experience and look to it, the interior a.k.a. inner frame that keeps everything together is more solid to provide additional shock resistance. But despite its appearance, it too was manufactured from recycled materials, though not to the extent of the exterior component.

The Kvadrat Cover has a recycled inner frame that was manufactured with at least 20% PCM (mail service-consumer materials). According to the company, this arroyo to utilizing PCM for the inner frame typically leads to a reduction in CO2 emissions that are generated during the production process. The same manufacturing technique was applied to the Kvadrat Embrace's claw.

The final component is the retail packet itself and it, too, was manufactured in an eco-friendly mode. The packaging is made entirely from paper which, unlike plastic, is a biodegradable textile.

The Kvadrat Cover is uniform with the Milky way S21+ 5G and it's available for $34.99 or regional equivalent. You can refer to the links below for more details.
