Reducing our environmental footprint
Road to Zero
Inspired by the beauty of the world, Sony is doing its part to help preserve the Earth, while still allowing creators to produce even more beautiful and creative imagery. With a goal of achieving a zero environmental footprint across the entire Sony Group by the year 2040, we are accelerating numerous initiatives for the environment.
Non-plastic outer packaging0
The outer packaging of the ZV-1 II does not contain plastic0, but instead uses Sony’s Original Blended Material, consisting of bamboo, sugar cane, and recycled paper. This unique blend not only produces high quality and durable packaging, but it is also recyclable for an even lower environmental impact.
Recyclable non-plastic packaging materials
Sony is working towards the use of non-plastic packaging materials, while still providing ample protection during shipping0. We are also using plant-based non-woven fabrics for product bags. All of this helps to minimise our environmental impact.1
Using recycled plastic
SORPLASTM0 is a Sony-developed durable and repeatedly recycled material. We use it in conjunction with other recycled materials to manufacture camera bodies without compromising performance and functionality. Approximately 379 tons1 of virgin plastic have been replaced by recycled plastics in our digital cameras and digital video cameras over the past ten years.
Wind screen using recycled polyester
The fibres used in the wind screen provided with the ZV-1 II are made exclusively from recycled PET bottles0. Extensive testing was carried out to ensure that sound quality and wind noise reduction performance were fully up to our standards, achieving environmental impact reduction without compromising functionality.
Vlogging for everyone
Enhanced accessibility with screen reader
The screen reader function0 enables text on menu screens to be read aloud. It’s easy to activate by navigating to the [Setup] tab and turning the [Screen Reader] function ON. Screen reader volume can be adjusted via the [Sound Options] settings.
Assistive Technology on Sony's cameras
