In addition, the tech giant will make all the shipments carbon neutral to promote sustainability in its hardware division. Till date, the company has reduced emissions by 40 percent by switching from air shipments to cargo. This mission will help company to have better means to forecast their development and production process, since cargo shipments takes time.
Notably, Google is not the only tech giant that is using recycled material. Apple uses recycled plastic, tin and aluminium in its hardware products, while, Samsung promised to replace plastic in its packaging with environmentally sustainable products.
