the environment globally. Nokia has started with the program invites the
community to have a personal responsibility for recycling mobile phones to

"A global survey has been conducted by Nokia shows that 3 out of 4 people
did not think to recycle their used mobile phones, and even, they do not
realize that the mobile phone and accessories used can be recycled, said
Francis Cheong. For example, a mobile phone that was used can be recycled
carbon dioxide gas to reduce emissions of 12,585 kg.
If all those who have a mobile phone in the world that this
is 3 billion, and the only one not only of those who recycle their mobile
phone, it will reduce the raw material of 240,000 tons and reduce greenhouse
gases equivalent to 4 million vehicles . "Movement recycling e-waste
