If you are a sucker for do it yourself-projects, you are probably familiar with all the great things you can make out of materials such as paper, wool, and carton. These DIY-projects are an excellent way to pass the time, and in some cases, a great way to save money.
Creative And Innovative
Also, if you recycle waste material for your projects, you are doing not only yourself but the environment a sustainable favor. The well-known brand Samsung likes the idea of this creative recycling and creates eco-friendly packaging that can easily be turned into cat houses, remote control cases and magazine racks.
If you order one of Samsung's lifestyle TV's, such as The Sero, The Serif or The Frame, it will arrive in this new eco- friendly packaging. This sustainable packaging is made from corrugated cardboard, that is produced in an environment- friendly way. The design on the cardboard will spark the curiosity of the customer. There is a funny dot matrix on each side of the packaging that helps to cut the boxes more easily and will inspire to use the material for other purposes.
PlanetFirst - Samsung's Green Initiative
Of course, Samsung will help with those purposes: in the manual costumers can find ideas to reuse the cardboard. You can make cat houses, a remote- control case (for your brand new TV accessories) and even shelves from the eco- packaging. The package comes with good news for the less creative among us. By scanning the QR code on the box, you will find a step-by-step manual to reuse the packaging. Creative and innovative: Samsung was deservedly rewarded with the CES Innovation Award.

Sustainable Packaging: Fight Paper Pollution
Paper pollution is a huge problem, as packaging makes up one third or more of trash, globally. Sustainable packing is much needed. With Samsung´s eco- packaging, the company hopes to contribute to reduce paper waste and inspire their consumers to recycle – and to co- design their sustainable packaging.
Together with influential design magazine Dezeen, Samsung will host a global design race for its eco- packaging. “We believe that we can provide our younger generation with a new experience that considers the environment as an important way to express themselves,” said Kangwook Chun, Executive Vice President and Head of the Product Strategy Team for the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics to The Korea Bizwire.
