Applying our plan to the α7 IV 

The α7 IV is no exception as we work to help preserve the environment

As with other new Sony products, the entire environmental lifecycle of the α7 IV has been considered, through development, production, packaging and logistics. High-performance recycled—and recyclable—plastic is used for various camera body components, alongside more recyclable packaging. Our production sites also leverage renewable, large-scale solar generation to reduce production energy impacts0.
