09 Jun: Some Best Buy Products Now Have Sustainable Packaging

At Best Buy, we want our customers to be excited about the latest tech. We also have a story to tell about the packaging those products come in. We’re excited to share that we’ve made some small but impactful changes to the packaging of our private label products so that it’s better for the environment.

Our Modal brand cellphone case packaging is now made 100 percent from bioplastics, a material that breaks down over time.

If a product is made from bioplastics, that means it has the same properties as plastic, but is made from plants and is biodegradable.
