Samsung has launched a new program to recycle old Galaxy Watch bands. The company wants to reduce electronic waste and support sustainability. Users can now send their used watch bands back to Samsung for proper recycling.

The program is simple. Customers go to Samsung’s website and request a free return label. They pack their old bands and mail them back. Samsung then recycles the materials responsibly. This includes plastic, metal, and other components used in the bands.
Samsung says this effort is part of its larger environmental plan. The company aims to cut down on waste from wearable devices. Galaxy Watch bands wear out over time. Many users replace them often. Without a recycling option, these bands usually end up in landfills.
The new program accepts all types of Galaxy Watch bands. This includes sport bands, leather straps, and metal links. It does not matter which Galaxy Watch model the band came from. Samsung will take them all.
People who join the program help protect the environment. Recycling saves raw materials and energy. It also lowers pollution from making new products. Samsung hopes more users will take part.
The company has made it easy to join. No extra cost or complicated steps are needed. Just print the label, pack the bands, and drop them in the mail. Samsung handles the rest.
