Google has released unboxing videos of its new products, showcasing a new packaging.

[{"selector":"#anim-5c63184b-69e4-4e68-8f62-0e773202a377","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4690d362-ff91-4b08-adc0-8694a066006f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 295.44847%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The tech giant explained a big change in packaging for its products this year.

[{"selector":"#anim-13f4c134-0483-4196-926e-3ebef47f9724","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-642add3a-96c2-4042-9af0-d0ffc4f30137","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 295.44847%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The packaging for new products are 100% plastic free. They are made from new paper which is 3x stronger, and 70% more stretchable.

[{"selector":"#anim-6150c758-aced-45c6-a291-17812afe6326","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9619ee7c-aaab-45e9-bfc1-eefa1fbe2064","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 180.45423%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The tough material inside the box is made from recycled newspaper. And the whole box is easy to recycle, which anyone can tell looking at the box.

Google mentioned that the new packing is lighter, which helps reducing carbon footprint in transport.

[{"selector":"#anim-55478843-55c4-4217-b168-41d7cfb41e07","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ec29bb7c-25ea-47d1-a8cf-cddad99eeecb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 228.64424%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The new packaging is applied to the latest Pixel, Fitbit, and Nest devices.

[{"selector":"#anim-b9c97774-d363-4dba-952d-c85fa91b5318","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0c8ca9d8-135b-4f65-9636-32d2c35a7c92","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 288.21958%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Google pledged to make plastic free packaging by 2025, but they did so a year early.
