13 Oct: All Best Buy gift cards are now 100% recyclable

Just in time for the holiday season, Best Buy is proud to announce that 100% of the physical gift cards we sell in our U.S. stores and online are now made of paper and can go straight into the recycling bin.

We started switching over to paper recyclable gifts card in 2018, and since then we’ve helped avoid adding approximately 196 tons of plastic waste to landfills. (For context, the Statue of Liberty weighs approximately 204 tons!).

By making all Best Buy gift cards entirely from paper, customers can recycle them alongside all the other things you normally put in your recycle bin at home.

27 Sep: Best Buy campaign celebrates how tech helps customers achieve everyday success

In 2018, Best Buy refreshed its brand to celebrate the new rallying cry: “Let’s talk about what’s possible.”

With this, customers saw our Blue Shirts as the inspiring friend who helps enrich their lives through technology. We also introduced new customer stories with real conversations, and even an updated logo for the first time in decades. All aimed to reflect our human culture and shared mindset of customer obsession.

Now, three years later, we’re ready for the next phase — which, no surprise, focuses on our customers.
