A Greener Nokia in 2008 - Green packaging |
|
Nokia is a Global leader in their market, no questioning that. So, perhaps their move to make "greener" more environmentally sound decisions in their business processes will spread to others... indeed they are a good role model for action. Read on for a look at the "green" Nokia 3110 evolve, eco-sound packaging, corporate policies and more on the eco-friendly Nokia... we've even got a couple of eco-friendly tips for developers!
I have to say that one aspect of the Nokia World event that took me a bit by surprise was the company’s vision for a greener future and their commitment to deliver eco-friendly products and sustainable solutions… very impressive in my mind! Charting a new course – expect a Nokia that will take more risks to help shape the future of mobile communications. Improving the quality of life over the Globe while also increasing awareness in sustainable living and environmental sustainability… eg. energy efficiency. The company has announced that all new devices will ship with an energegy efficient charger, one that has almost no load when left plugged in while not being used – regardless, all users are reminded to unplug your chargers when not being used. The company will also deliver smaller phones and smaller packages, packaging created with recyclable materials and recaptured products. The company notes that as a small benefit, fewer trucks are needed to deliver the packaging which is saving some 100 million euros per year already!
