Logitech’s environmental approach is a success. Two years ago, the Swiss company made a commitment to significantly reduce its carbon impact and to create a virtuous circle of use of the different materials and components needed to manufacture its products.
An initial target of 50% use of post-consumer recycled plastic (PCR) for its ranges, which the specialist in gaming and high-tech accessories announced that it had exceeded this Thursday, February 10.
65% of products use recycled plastic
65% of all mice and keyboards in Logitech’s Creativity and Productivity category now use recycled plastic, the company’s largest product portfolio. The Swiss firm estimates that 8,000 tons of virgin plastic have been eliminated from its products in 2021 alone, which is equivalent to a saving of 19,000 tons of CO2 over the entire life cycle of the products, “ equivalent to an average passenger vehicle circling the Earth 1,740 times “, she boasts in her press release.
” We are taking significant steps to change the codes and deliver game-changing solutions in materials, packaging advancements and circularity to reduce the company’s carbon impact. Our ultimate dual ambition is to have a positive impact on the environment and society, as well as to advance our entire sector by sharing our approach and collaborating said Prakash Arunkundrum, Group Head of Global Operations and Sustainability. A proud signatory of the Climate Pledge, Logitech then sets itself the goal of capturing more carbon than it creates by 2030.
