As Google details all the camera, processor and security updates coming to its new Pixel 7 phones and its very first smartwatch, it also noted that more recycled materials have been used in its latest hardware. With the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro the frames are now made of 100 percent recycled aluminum, while the Pixel Watch housing uses 80 percent recycled steel. (Google clarified on Twitter that recycled aluminum apparently makes up to 11 percent of the product, based on weight.)
It goes a little further, too, with Pixel Watch fabric bands made from 100 percent recycled yarn. According to Google’s visualization, the company has folded in some recycled plastics.
Sustainability guides us—from product design to manufacturing and beyond.
