With the introduction of a series of policies to support the development of circular economy in various countries, green, low-carbon recycling and sustainable development has become a global consensus. Consumer electronics industry is no exception, the future of green low-carbon recycling development of the economic system will become an effective way for consumer electronics companies to solve the problem of electronic waste recycling, and the use of new environmentally friendly materials, is to achieve the consumer electronics industry carbon neutral important initiatives. Domestic and foreign consumer electronics big brands play a leading role in product design in recent years, have adopted environmentally friendly materials, currently used in consumer electronics products are recycled recycled materials, bio-based materials, biomaterials and so on.
1. Recycling of recycled materials
In consumer electronics products, not only in the packaging to reduce the use of plastic, more and more brands in the product of the structural components of the selection of materials are also increasingly favored in the environmental recycling and reuse of metals and plastics. Recycled materials are not bad, such as post-consumer recycled plastic PCR material color, mechanical properties can be compared to brand new raw materials. Related materials companies: Kostron, Sheng Xi'ao, Wanhua Chemical, Jinfa Science and Technology and so on.
①Apple
In 2021, nearly 20% of all materials in Apple products will be recycled, 59% of the aluminum in all products will come from recycled sources, and 100% of recycled aluminum will be used in the housings of many products.
②Three Stars
△Galaxy S22
The Galaxy S22 series is Samsung's first smartphone to utilize recycled Sea Tendency Plastic. In the Galaxy S22 series of cell phone products, 20% of marine plastic (reused plastic fishing nets) is used in the key holders and built-in S Pen case parts.
③ Sharp
△SHARP AQUOS wish
The SHARP AQUOS wish is Sharp's first eco-friendly phone to incorporate recycled materials, with a shell that is a blend of 35% recycled plastic pellets derived from water cooler bottles.
④Sony
△Sony TWS Headphones LinkBuds S Earth Blue
The parts of the Sony LinkBuds S TWS headphones body and charging case are made of recycled plastic from recycling factories, recycled buckets, and recycled plastic materials from car parts. As a result, the product has a unique lucite pattern.
In collaboration with a partner company, Sony has developed a new recyclable ABS that can be accurately sorted through undyed ABS waste for a variety of coloring processes without the need to add virgin plastic. In fact, Sony used recycled materials for the exterior of its TWS headphones launched this year, and has plans to use more recycled plastics in its headphones.
Google Pixel Watch
The Google Pixel Watch frame is made of 80% recycled stainless steel, with an elastic band made of 100% recycled polyester fiber and elastic yarn, and the lugs are made of recycled post-consumer plastic 50%.
The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro cases are made entirely of recycled aluminum, the Pixel cases have been redesigned to contain recycled plastic materials ranging from 30% to 70%, and the Nest Audio speaker has 70% made from post-consumer recycled plastic, including woven material from recycled water bottles.Google is committed to using at least 50% of recycled or reclaimed plastic in all of its hard products by 2025. Google is committed to using at least 50% of recycled or reclaimed plastics in all of its hardware products by 2025, prioritizing the use of recycled plastics wherever possible.
⑥OPPO
OPPO 5G CPE T2 Some of the accessories are plastic recycled, using plastics from discarded consumer products (PCR) to minimize reliance on virgin plastics.
⑦Fairphone
Fairphone TWS
The Fairphone TWS headset body and charging organizer both contain 30% recycled plastic (PC+ABS).
2. Bio-based materials
Bio-based materials utilize renewable biomass, including crops, other plants, grains, legumes, straw, bamboo and wood flour, etc. as raw materials and are manufactured through biological, chemical and physical methods. For example, PA10T, PA11, PA1010 and other bioplastics, its synthetic raw materials from nature castor, without consuming the production of traditional plastics using non-renewable resources - oil, so can largely reduce the pollution and damage to the environment, with renewable, low-carbon, environmentally friendly and other advantages. Related materials companies are: Wanhua Chemical, SABIC, Jinfa Technology, Arkema, Evonik.
①Huawei
Huawei has been gradually adopting bio-based plastics in its end products, such as the P series, Mate series cell phones and Huawei watches, since 2013. The bio-based plastics used by Huawei have a castor oil content of more than 301 TP3T, which reduces CO2 emissions by about 62.61 TP3T compared to traditional plastics. By the end of 2020, Huawei had used a total of 1,223 tons of bio-based materials, equivalent to a reduction of about 6,238 tons of CO2 emissions.
②realme
realme launched its first high-end flagship realme GT2 Pro, using a new environmentally friendly bio-based material developed in cooperation with SABIC to make the shell. According to reports, this bio-based material is extracted from biological raw materials such as fallen leaves and pulp, which can reduce carbon emissions by 2kg per kilogram compared to traditional materials extracted from fossilized raw materials, and gives the realme GT2 Pro a sturdy and stable appearance and structural design through a complex process and rigorous reliability tests.

3. Biomaterials
Fruits, plants, etc. provide materials with viable potential as an environmentally friendly, non-animal material, such as apple and banana peels made to replace natural leather. Also in product packaging can be made from renewable materials such as bamboo, sugarcane, recycled paper and other renewable materials.
△Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 band made of 100% apple leather
Samsung introduces bands made of recyclable and eco-friendly materials, including apple leather, for the Galaxy Watch 4.
△Watch band made of banana peels
Banana peels are not to be outdone, Swiss designer Sarah Harbarth uses discarded banana peels to create sustainable and eco-friendly materials that can be used for watch straps, a new 100% compostable material product that is a sustainable and recyclable alternative to leather.
Smart wearable gradually popularized, its industry chain involves the types of enterprises including terminals, ODM, electronic component manufacturers, structural component manufacturers, material companies and related equipment manufacturers, etc. From the material point of view, mainly involving glass, sapphire, ceramics, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, plastics, elastomers and so on.
