Sony Ericsson Shows Off Eco-Friendly Mobile Phones
Sony Ericsson today unveiled two new "GreenHeart" products as part of its new(ish) plan to reduce the carbon emissions from its products. Cellular News reports.
The first flagship product to be launched, the C901 GreenHeart, will include an electronic, in-phone manual to replace the standard paper version, saving over 90% in paper.
The C901 GreenHeart phone casing is made from a minimum of 50% recycled plastics and includes an optimised display light sensor that uses less energy. The phone is coloured with waterborne paint that lowers exposure to Volatile Organic Compounds.
As well as featuring many of the innovations showcased in the C901 GreenHeart, Naite will come to market with a low-power charger, the EP300 GreenHeart charger, one of the first of its kind to be introduced to the market.
The company estimates that the overall Carbon footprint over the full life of the C901 GreenHeart and Naite is reduced by 15%.
