Google design teams start working towards prioritizing recycled and renewable materials

Google design teams are now working towards prioritizing recycled and renewable material to make a pollution-free world.

Earlier this year, Google was announced our climate action plan for the next decade, which is the most ambitious work project for this company.

“As we continue to experience the effects of climate change across the world and in our own backyards, being responsible for our impact on the environment and in our community is essential,” Google said in a Blog Post.

“We committed that all of our products would include recycled materials by 2022,” Google design teams said.

To complete this goal, Google design teams are going to work on more sustainability products.

According to Google design teams, the recently launched Pixel 5 is made with 100 percent recycled aluminum. This is our first phone to incorporate recycled aluminum, which not only eliminates the use of mined aluminum in the enclosure and reduces waste, it also lowers the carbon footprint of manufacturing the enclosure by 35 percent compared to using virgin aluminum. The new Nest Audio contains 70 percent recycled plastic across its enclosure parts including the acoustic fabric and is covered in the same sustainable fabric that we first introduced with Nest Mini last year. And for our latest Nest Thermostat, we made the trim plate from 75 percent post-consumer recycled plastic.

“Now We’re updating our original goal and committing to using recycled or renewable material in at least 50 percent of all plastic used across all our hardware products by 2025, prioritizing recycled plastic everywhere we can. So by 2025, we’re committing to making our product packaging 100 percent plastic-free and 100 percent recyclable.” Google design teams also stated.
