According to reports, most post-consumer recycled plastic resins have traditionally been limited to black or gray applications

Currently, the percentage of recycled plastic in Logitech products varies from 75% to 20% for light-colored products depending on the type, color, and material composition of the product

Logitech has partnered with suppliers to explore more than 30 color palettes

Logitech says its product design goals are to maximize the percentage of recycled content in each product, while ensuring that high aesthetic appeal and durability tests are met

All PCR plastics used in Logitech products are sourced from end-of-life consumer electronics products that are third-party certified by SCS Global Services
.

"We are delivering breakthrough solutions in materials, packaging improvements and circularity to reduce the company's carbon impact," said Prakash Arunkundrum, Logitech's head of global operations and sustainability
