Devices and Sustainability

We are making Amazon devices more sustainable, from how we build them to how our customers use them. We incorporate recycled materials into many new Amazon devices, giving new life to materials that could otherwise end up in waste streams. We have also developed features like Low Power Mode to reduce the energy devices consume during periods of inactivity over their lifetime. In 2020, we added Low Power Mode to the latest models of Echo and Fire TV devices and are rolling out free over-the-air updates to bring Low Power Mode to older models of devices already in customers’ homes.
