Together for a sustainable tomorrow: Samsung Electronics at CES 2024

With the ultimate goal to reach net zero emission in 2050, Samsung outlined a timeline of sustainability milestones in the next two decades. Visitors viewed in-depth explanations on the company’s actions in pursuing resource circularity through encased models of eco-conscious innovations that repurpose or incorporate recycled materials.

The Sustainability Zone featured recycled plastic walls that were built using r-ABS and r-PP, materials developed by Samsung’s Circular Economy Lab.

r-ABS is made using recycled Styrofoam from inside Samsung product packaging, while r-PP is made by recycling various by-products generated during the production of household goods.

Samsung also carried out the Circular Workshop which provide a closer look at the entire product lifecycle of the Galaxy Book4, Neo QLED 8K and BESPOKE AI Washer.

Samsung unveiled an even more advanced version of SmartThings Energy. Through AI Energy Mode, users can comprehensively manage their energy usage and cut down on electricity bills, reducing carbon emissions in the process.

Samsung expanded its recent collaboration with electric vehicle brand Tesla through SmartThings Energy. Seamlessly integrated into the SmartThings Energy ecosystem, Tesla’s Powerwall 3, Solar Inverter and Universal Wall Connector were showcased.

In addition, visitors viewed demonstrations of how notifications from the Storm Watch, featuring on Tesla’s app, appear on Samsung TVs.

Visitors were also given a glimpse at a new remote function with condensed key functionalities and more accessible design, allowing users to control their TVs with the SmartThings app on their smartphones.

Other accessibility features include live caption in call that provides real-time transcription on Galaxy devices, and audio subtitles that automatically recognize and read on-screen subtitles, making it helpful especially when watching foreign content.
