Materials with eco innovations

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.

In 2007 we first introduced renewable materials with the Nokia 3110 Evolve, with 50% of its cover made from bioplastics.

In later years, handsets began to feature other sustainable materials. Nokia C7 was the first handset to use bio paints, while the Nokia C6-01 incorporated recycled metals – and we continue to innovate with the use of recycled plastics in the Nokia 700.

Everything we use to make Nokia products must be safe for people and the environment. We constantly strive to use sustainable materials in our manufacturing, and lead the industry in substance management
