We manufacture hundreds of unique products —from cellphone cases to smart TVs — under our five private-label brands.
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.
Best Buy is committed to helping our customers live more sustainable lives – reducing their carbon footprint and saving money on their utility bills. But we don’t just sell energy-efficient products, we make them too.
Note: This story has been updated.
Over the past several years, there has been heightened awareness about potentially hazardous chemicals in products. Consumers have become increasingly aware of what they put on their skin, handle on a daily basis and store in their homes. Some consumer electronics contain chemicals necessary to protect against immediate safety concerns like fire hazards. At Best Buy, we’re actively working to protect our consumers through safer alternatives or by eliminating potentially harmful chemicals.
With that in mind, we’re making improvements to our private label products.
