NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENT IMPACT :
During the manufacturing process the exposure of
workers to toxic metals and chemicals like lead,
cadmium, mercury, and poly vinyl chlorides (PVCs) are
still prevalent in black market cell phones, and often
make their way to open air dumps
Group of Swiss researchers found that 40-50% of the
environmental impacts over the entire life of a cell phone
occur during the single process of manufacturing printed
wiring boards and integrated circuits.

In just one year, it is estimated that one cell phone uses the
energy equivalent to 32 gallons of gas, and emits 112
kilograms of carbon dioxide (CO
2
).

Every year, 140,000,000 cell phones (thats 4 per second!) will
make their way into a landfill, where they will collectively
leach 80,000 pounds of lead into the earth and groundwater
supply of surrounding communities.


It is estimated that over a 100kg of Mine waste is produced in
order to extract the gold for the circuit board of Just one
mobile phone.

Lead free solders be used for electrode terminals of the
parts and inside of the parts.

Ericsson and telecommunications provider TeliaSonera
work proactively to reduce use of hazardous substances.

Well ahead of EU rules, Ericsson started to migrate its
entire product portfolio to lead-free soldering.

TeliaSonera began its transition ahead of legislation and
required Ericsson to deliver lead-free soldered products
with the same functionality and reliability as before.

Product Base Changes :

Nokia India, created smaller packaging that uses 54 per cent
less materials.

By 2007 end, Nokia shipped 250 million phones using this
compact packaging, resulting in 5,000 fewer trucks being
needed to distribute products around the world and creating
financial savings of up to Rs 6,560 crore.

Nokia accessory packaging has been trimmed to use 60 per
cent less plastic while the cardboard in packaging has been
made thinner.

Management base Changes

In December 2000, telecommunications hardware and software
supplier Marconi at their Liverpool, UK facility installed an
auto waste-to-heat recovery system to burn waste and convert
the heat to usable energy.
The benefits included less landfill, "free" hot water and lower
carbon dioxide emissions from the reduction in fuel
transportation.
Samsung Reclaim is a model which can be said as 80%
recyclable, since it is made up of bio-plastics extracted from
corn.
In Verizon, Over 18,000 tons of office paper and cardboard
were recycled in 2007.

the option of buying mobile devices without chargers.
This pilot was conducted with N79 in Nokia online stores
in UK, Spain, Italy and France.
By offering a device without a charger, Nokia was :-
Able to reduce packaging ,Minimize the use of raw
materials , Minimize energy consumption in the production
phase and ,Reduce transportation.
