New Xbox Controller Is Made Of Recovered Plastics

New Xbox Controller

Microsoft has recently announced the release of a new Xbox controller design that is different from any other controller that the company has ever created. The announcement comes in time for Earth Day, which is celebrated later this month, and the company has dubbed this new controller design the “Remix Special Edition.”

What sets this controller apart from previous Xbox controller designs is that it is made entirely of recovered plastics. The controller is composed of parts from the first generation of Xbox One controllers that have been ground up into raw materials and then used, in part, to create the new design. In addition, Microsoft has used “post-consumer recycled resins” to complete the production process of the new controller.

This move towards using recovered plastics and recycled resins is part of Microsoft’s ongoing commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and promoting sustainability. By reusing materials that would otherwise have gone to waste, the company is taking a step towards a more eco-friendly approach to manufacturing.

The Remix Special Edition controller features a vibrant color palette of blues, pinks, and oranges, giving it a unique and eye-catching look. The controller also comes with all the features that Xbox gamers have come to expect, including a 3.5mm stereo headset jack and Bluetooth connectivity.

In addition to the Remix Special Edition controller, Microsoft has also announced that it will be launching a new program called “Designed for Xbox,” which will require all new accessories for the Xbox to meet certain sustainability standards. This program aims to encourage third-party accessory manufacturers to prioritize sustainability in their product designs.

Overall, the release of the Remix Special Edition controller is an exciting development for Xbox gamers and sustainability advocates alike. By creating a new controller design out of recovered plastics and recycled resins, Microsoft is setting an example for other tech companies to follow in their efforts to reduce waste and promote sustainability in their manufacturing processes.

Microsoft has unveiled a new edition of its Xbox controller that is made from reclaimed materials, including car headlight covers, plastic water jugs, and CDs. The controller’s design features Earth tones and texture patterns inspired by the dynamic landscape of the planet.

The Xbox Remix Special Edition controller is a step towards greater sustainability across the Xbox product portfolio. As part of its efforts to reduce waste, Xbox has included a rechargeable battery pack with the controller, which eliminates the need for disposable batteries. The controller is priced at $85 and is now available for pre-order ahead of its release on April 18 at retailers worldwide.

In February 2023, Xbox made history by becoming the first “carbon aware” console through a system update that automatically switched every Xbox console to the energy-saving option. According to Microsoft, for every two Xbox consoles that use the energy-saving mode for a year, this will save the equivalent of the carbon removed by planting and growing a tree for ten years.

The Remix Special Edition controller is a testament to Xbox’s commitment to sustainability, and it’s just the beginning. Xbox is exploring new ways to use less new plastic and reduce waste while bringing fans along on its sustainability journey. By creating eco-friendly products like the Remix controller, Xbox is leading the way towards a more sustainable future.
