65% to 80% of a Nokia phone can be recycled
In addition to the amazing devices that Nokia creates, I am also pleased with their awareness and attention to sustainability of our beautiful planet Earth. They even have a main level page on their website devoted to the environment. IDC issued a report on phone manufacturers recycling efforts and Nokia is one of the leading companies in this area of recyclability.
As stated by IDC:
Nokia is particularly strong in the area of materials where between 65% and 80% of any Nokia device can be recycled and the rest, primarily plastics, can be used to fuel the recycling process. The company has also gone the furthest in its use of recycled materials.Five companies stood out from the pack, including Apple, LG, Nokia, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson. Five criteria and 20 sub-criteria were evaluated in the detailed report that is available for $4,500.
So, the next time you are thinking about purchasing a smartphone you can rest easy knowing that Nokia is doing their part to recyle phones and use materials that can be recycled and used in your next Nokia smartphone.
