O2 has come up with a new scheme to rank mobile phones in order of how environmentally friendly they are. Sony Ericsson have 5 devices in the top 10 and the Elm at the number one spot. Sony Ericsson Elm is made from completely recycled materials and will be one of the main reasons it has claimed the top spot. The phones rank is decided on the mobile’s packaging, materials used in its manufacturing, how easy it is to recycle, how energy efficient the device is. Here is the list:
Top 10 most eco-friendly phones
Sony Ericsson Elm: Eco rating, 4.3 out of 5

They obviously don’t see the phone as Eco friendly as the others in the list.

Maybe Elm is the most eco friendly, but look at the Satio which is almost at the bottom…
isn’t naite eco friendly?
May very well be ecofriendly, but from last decade. This was released long after “agreement” of moving to micro usb for charging. Micro-usb, 3.5mm and shipping without all that extra waste would make it even more eco friendly.
