Materials with eco innovations

We continually innovate our materials to create more sustainable devices. We do this through research and development of bioplastics, bio paints, and recycled metals and plastics. We launched our first device to use bioplastic in its cover, the Nokia 3110 Evolve, already in 2007, and we have continued introducing new materials in our eco hero devices .

Through extensive research and development, testing and concepting, we ensure that all our devices – regardless of the materials used – meet the same standards and have the highest quality, reliability and longevity. This ensures the maximum lifetime for every Nokia device and reduces waste. 100% of the materials in Nokia devices can be used again and again to make new products or generate energy. So, when a Nokia is recycled, nothing is wasted.
