Now all we need is some sun

Technology giants Samsung have eliminated the need for batteries in their latest creation.

The South Korean company has created a sustainable solution with the 'Eco Remote Control'.

Samsung hopes that this technology will help reduce its waste and emission creation.

Although the remote may look similar to recent remotes from Samsung.

The solar panels located on the underside are the key selling point for the product.

These solar panels will charge the remote meaning no need for traditional batteries.

If you're worried about Ireland's lack of sun, there is also a USB-C port to charge quickly.

According to Ladbible, the device is made of 28% recycled polyethylene terephthalate.

Speaking to The Verge, Samsung said:

"By eliminating oil-based ink and expanding eco-friendly packaging to all Lifestyle and QLED TV models, Samsung offers a sustainable solution that can upcycle up to 200,000 tons of boxes a year and turn them into pieces of home decor."
