Recyclable materials narrowly took the top slot, securing almost 27 per cent of the vote - an area that Nokia has been actively evolving over the past couple of years, both in terms of improving the recyclable content of devices, highlighting the importance of mobile recycling and enabling folk to easily recycle their devices, with Nokia’s we:recycle scheme boasting already over 5,000 drop-off points.
Natural power came in a second place with just under 26 percent of the overall vote, clearly highlighting how keen many of you are to see Nokia pursue alternative power solutions for mobile devices. This is certainly an area we’ll be keeping an eye on and reporting on when any developments arise, so stay tuned.
Eco phone charger landed the third spot, with just over 16 per cent. This is great, and a little prophetic I guess, what with last week’s announcement of the Universal Charging Solution. Plus, of course, Nokia had already committed back 2008 to the new energy star rating system for mobile phone chargers.
