Sony Ericsson to launch eco-friendly biodegradable cell phone


Sony Ericsson is venturing in the field of manufacturing environmentally safe biodegradable cell phones. The company seemingly wants to prove that a biodegradable phone is a feasible idea.

This phone was conceived under the the “GreenHeart” concept which encompasses green technologies, using bio-plastic housings, recycled plastic keypads, zero charger with 3.5mW standby power, digital manuals, a game style educational application “Ecomate” and environmentally conscious packaging.

Mats Pellback-Scharp, Head of Corporate Sustainability for Sony Ericsson, was reported to have said, “The global take back scheme and the GreenHeart project bring us closer to our vision of being a leader in sustainability in the mobile phone industry.”

Sony Ericsson reportedly setup collection points for acquiring used cell phones. There are more than 500 collection points in contries like India, Taiwan, China, Thailand, Singapore, USA and Mexico presently. The company expects to expand this project in all the countries where it provides service by the year 2009.
