Each and every Nokia device is created with the environment in mind

We continuously improve the environmental credentials of all our products, both in the high-end smart device portfolio, as well as in the more affordable feature phone range. We've long been a pioneer in phasing out substances of concern from our products. But it doesn't stop there. We also look at

• improving energy efficiency

• using renewable materials and smart packaging, and

• creating environmental services that encourage people to adopt more sustainable lifestyles.

Effective end-of-life practices close the lifecycle loop, putting energy and valuable materials back into circulation.

Additionally, we regularly introduce new, more sustainable materials such as bio plastics, bio paints, recycled metals and recycled plastics in our devices. We have reduced content inside the packaging which has allowed us pack our products in a minimized package. The packages are also made of renewable, 100 % recyclable material

Our environmental services and applications, together with our environmentally-friendly and energy efficient devices and accessories, can inspire and help people to live more sustainably.

• The ecologically themed Nokia Climate Mission 3D game combines the fun of gaming with the discovery of how to reduce your own ecological footprint and learn about climate change.

• HERE Drive helps put the environment top-of-mind by selecting the most optimum route while driving.

• HERE Transit offers public transportation route planning, raising awareness of environmentally sound public transportation as a journey option and making it easier to use. Pedestrian navigation and bicycling is made easy by providing HERE Maps.

And to help people with feature phones find the applications that promote a more sustainable lifestyle, the Green Channel in the Nokia Store gathers them all together.

Every Nokia product comes with an eco profile, which tells you about its materials, energy efficiency, packaging, environmental impact and recycling.

Eco words: what do they mean?

• Recyclable – materials that can be processed into new products to prevent waste.

• Renewable – resources (energy or materials) that don’t run out when we use them.

• Sustainable – ability to conserve an ecological balance by avoiding depletion of natural resources.

• Biomaterials – materials that are ‘grown’ or developed by using part of an organic structure.
