Microsoft launches Xbox Controller made of recycled CDs, water jugs: How much it costs

Earth Day 2023 is right around the corner. Ahead of the annual celebration, Microsoft has unveiled a special edition Xbox Controller. Dubbed as the Xbox Wireless Controller – Remix Special Edition, the Xbox Controller is made from recycled CDs and water jugs.

“Earth Day is just around the corner…To celebrate this year, we’ve created an Xbox controller that features recovered plastics with one-third of it made from regrind and reclaimed materials,” Microsoft wrote in a blog post announcing the news.

Explaining the manufacturing process, the company said that it mixes post-consumer recycled resins from reclaimed materials like automotive headlight covers, plastic water jugs, and CDs with regrind consisting of previously molded colored parts creates custom, earth-tone colors with subtle variations. For the unversed, regrind is the process of mechanically recycling leftover Xbox One generation controller parts into a raw material that can be used to partially create new controllers while maintaining durability and performance.

“The various earth-tone colors create a patchwork effect, featuring bright pops of color that create a vibrant yet serene vibe. The bright green Xbox button, D-pad, and front case color are inspired by lichen found in the Pacific Northwest Forest. The bumpers, triggers, and side grip areas feature a topographic texture pattern, a nod to the earth’s dynamic landscape, while maintaining the tactility that our customers like,” the company added.

Included in the special edition Xbox Controller box is an Xbox Rechargeable Battery Pack, which lets users play games for up to 30 hours on a full charge. Alternatively, users can also play games while charging the controller. It takes around four hours to charge the battery completely.
