DESIGN INNOVATION
Logitech is innovating to give plastics a second life. Today, many recycled plastic resins are limited to black or grey colors and do not perform in the same way as virgin plastic, which introduces product design challenges. Since 2017, we have been working with plastic suppliers to design new and stronger resins in a range of new colors. We now have over 30 exciting new colors in our palette. These new resins are used in Logitech products to give consumers more color options without compromising on product quality, while also being available to other companies, to help reduce our industry’s carbon impact.
REDUCING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT
Using recycled plastic is a key part of our Design for Sustainability efforts. We are increasingly using recycled plastics across top-selling product lines for mice, keyboards, webcams and speakers. More than 65% of the mice and keyboards in our largest product portfolio are now made with recycled plastic. We’ve eliminated an estimated 8,000 tons of virgin plastic, equating to an estimated 19,000 tons of CO2 saved across the product lifecycle for those products.
RECYCLING CONSUMER ELECTRONICS
E-waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world. We envision a future where all products can be recycled to make new products. We encourage and finance consumer recycling of electronics around the world and we work with recyclers who transform end-of-life electronics into recycled plastic. Through our efforts, we are working to make our sector more circular and ensure consumer electronics are given a second life.
Our Certifications
Our design goal is to maximize the percentage of recycled plastic in our products. When calculating the percentage we have achieved, we follow a defined protocol and use a third-party validated approach. We are working to obtain product certifications for all of our products with recycled plastics and we commit to disclosing our certifications here, to empower consumers and stakeholders with information.
