In a press release, Samsung mentioned that this endeavour is in line with its ongoing effort to eliminate single-use plastics and increase the use of eco-conscious material.
The electronics giant claimed that around 640,000 tons of fishing nets are discarded or abandoned each year. These nets are damaging marine life, including coral reefs.

Apple, another electronics major, has in recent years cultivated an eco-friendly image by ditching chargers in new phone boxes, which has also led to reduced shipping charges.
