The South Korean tech giant has developed a circular supply chain, upcycling plastic waste and using more than 90% of the cobalt from discarded batteries as part of a closed battery materials chain. It collects and dismantles used Galaxy phones and discharges the batteries, which are reduced to a “black mass” that’s refined so that cobalt can be extracted for use in new batteries. Also, Samsung recently announced an initiative to use the camera feature on Galaxy mobile phones to support coral reef restoration.
