KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 11): South Korean smartphone and electronics manufacturer Samsung's new smartphone, the Galaxy S22 Ultra, has components made from repurposed fishing nets and other post-consumer materials. Argus said discarded fishing nets contribute to 12 million t/yr of plastic ending up in oceans, according to Samsung. Samsung expects its efforts to remove more than 50t of old fishing nets from the oceans. Last year, US technology firm Microsoft tied up with Saudi petrochemical producer SABIC to create a computer mouse made from recycled ocean plastic.
