Sony will be testing the inclusion of “polypropylene recycled from post-industrial waste” in its physical PlayStation 5 game cases in Europe this year, as it endeavours to make its product line greener moving forwards. As part of a blog post on the division’s corporate website, it explains how it’s reduced its use of plastic where possible – noting that PS5’s console packaging is 93 to 99 per cent plastic-free.
“While we know there is still work to be done, there are a number of improvements we implemented to achieve this,” explained Kieren Mayers, who’s a Director of Environment and Technical Compliance at PlayStation. He explained that the firm has switched from polystyrene and plastic inserts to cardboard ones, and has even swapped plastic cable ties for paper.
