| Google wants to become greener All the recycled plastic you can eat Google is to neutralise carbon emissions from delivering consumer hardware by next year and include recycled plastic in each of its products by 2022. Anna Meegan, head of sustainability for Google’s devices and services unit, said in an interview that the company’s transport-related carbon emissions per unit fell 40 percent last year compared to 2017 by relying more on ships instead of planes to move phones, speakers, laptops and other gadgets from factories to customers across the world. The company will offset remaining emissions by purchasing carbon credits, Meegan said. Three out of nine Google products for which the company has detailed disclosures online contain recycled plastic, ranging from 20 percent to 42 percent in the casings for its Google Home speakers and Chromecast streaming dongles. https://fudzilla.com/news/mobile/491...become-greener |
