To promote environmental sustainability and incentivize eco-conscious behaviour, Samsung is gearing up to launch Eco Stamps, a unique reward system designed to recognize users for their environmental care efforts.
How will it Work?
Samsung’s SmartThings App is set to be the foundation for the Eco Stamps initiative. The app will provide users with information on the carbon emissions produced by their devices. Using AI algorithms based on usage patterns, the app’s AI Energy Mode will give users significant energy-saving tips.
As users start to conserve energy, they will earn carbon points for reducing CO2 emissions. These carbon points can then be converted into redeemable Eco Stamps.
Impact and Insights
Dipesh Shah, managing director of Samsung Research Institute, Bengaluru, emphasized the significance of integrating carbon emission tracking into the SmartThings app. He said, ” Providing users with real-time data on the environmental impact of their device usage empowers them to reduce their carbon footprint proactively and accumulate Eco Stamps.”
Eco Stamps can then be redeemed for rewards and incentives at Samsung stores. The exact timeline for launching Eco Stamps is currently being worked on, and an announcement is expected soon.
