Nokia firsts in the environment

We’re proud of the many environmental firsts we’ve achieved:

2001
We made Eco declarations available for our products.

2005
We introduced the first EU RoHS legislation compliant mobile phone, the Nokia 5140i, a year before the legislation came into force. Since July 2006 our devices have been RoHS compliant globally, not only in European Union area.

2006
We started to make our new phones and chargers PVC-free.

2007
We introduced Nokia’s most energy efficient charger so far, the AC-8.

We launched the first device using bioplastic in covers, the Nokia 3110 Evolve, in December 2007. It also came with the energy efficient AC-8 charger and compact packaging using 60 percent recycled materials.

We introduced the Eco catalogue for S60 devices.

We started adding reminders to unplug your chargers to our phones.

We launched the world’s first mobile offsetting application, we:offset. The application helps people offset CO2 emissions caused by flying, directly from their mobile device.
