Bringing people closer without costing the Earth
Nokia phones have always been made to last. And while keeping your device for longer is better for the environment, we’re now going even further. From our efforts to cut e-waste to our partnerships with environmental causes, we’re taking real action to help protect our planet.
Making phones that make a difference
There are two costs to every new phone – the money you pay, and the resources used to make it. By keeping our phones for longer, we save on both of those costs.
Nokia phones are made with high-quality materials, then go through product testing more vigorous than the industry average.¹ And with up to 3 years of security patches, Android™ OS upgrades² and manufacturer’s warranty³, your phone is made to last, inside and out.
Nokia XR20 : our most sustainable smartphones
Every aspect of a Nokia X-series phone is designed to excel and made to last. And the longer it lasts, the better it is for the planet.
"If everyone in Europe kept their smartphones in use for one additional year, by 2030 that could save as much carbon as taking one million cars off the road.⁴"

Save money and natural resources when you trade in
When it’s time for a new phone, your old one needn’t go to waste. Instead, trade it in – whatever the brand – and get an instant discount on your new device. In the process, you’ll be helping to tackle e-waste by keeping preventing the device going straight to the landfill.
Recycling
We can help recycle your old phones
We already sort our plastics from our metals, our bio-waste from our carboard – and electronic devices are just as important. But if you’re not sure how to get your old device recycled, we can help. Send it to us and we’ll dispose of them securely and recycle as much of the material as we can. And, it costs you nothing in postage.
Reducing e-waste
The average consumer already own three mobile phone chargers.⁵ So, to help reduce needless waste, we removed the wall charger from the package contents of Nokia X20 and Nokia X10 devices. Then, we included a protective, compostable phone case that is easy on the earth at the end of its lifespan.
“In 2019, phone chargers accounted for 12,000 tonnes of e-waste in the EU alone."
Planting trees with your phone
We’ve planted the seeds of change when it comes to sustainability – and not just in a figurative sense. Nokia phones have partnered with Ecologi, giving customers the chance to get real trees planted with every purchase of selected smartphones.
"Together, we’ve planted over 160,000 trees through this initiative⁶ We aim to keep the ball rolling with plans to roll out the initiative to more regions."

¹ We follow a rigorous manufacturing standard that is known as one of the toughest in the world. SPR tests that were originally developed by Nokia are used as the minimum quality standard to this day by HMD Global. This includes over 50 tests just for hardware durability, including force measurements, vigorous tumble, wear and scratch, fatigue.
