Microsoft has announced a new Xbox controller design, and this one is unlike anything the company has created before. Ahead of Earth Day later this month, Microsoft has revealed an Xbox controller made of recovered plastics called the Remix Special Edition controller.
The controller is made up of Xbox One first-generation controller parts that have been ground up into a raw material and then used, in part, to create a new controller. Also mixed in are "post-consumer recycled resins," Microsoft said in a news release.

These include reclaimed materials from car headlight covers, plastic water jugs, and CDs. The controller sports Earth tones for its color scheme, inspired in part by the green lichen found in the Pacific Northwest of the US where Microsoft has its headquarters.
