Keep a close watch on the ongoing Mobile technological innovation:


I was satisfied with the pace at which the technological innovations have driven the Mobiles way beyond the anticipated levels. Year on year the benchmark set for research scientists and technologist is on rise but the most disappointing note left by the Environmentalists is that these technologies are digging graves in our backyard by depositing carbon footprints.It sounds damaging to a techno savvy but as you and I observe the level of carbon footprints these mobiles generate from its creation to the end of its use, is for sure a warning bell to all.

Environmentalist, technocrats, and non-governmental organisations stretched out together and worked on a cause for evaluating the areas of carbon emissions and ways to curb such emissions.
If you start reading the evolution in the making of Mobiles and its journey through life, then the key phases where they enable the carbon footprints are areas adjoining the extraction of the raw materials, near manufacturing of Mobile components, all along the network operations. Even to the end of the life cycle at recycling units, Mobiles emit toxic emissions. The process to extend the life of the Mobile can be made possible in the hands of expertise at the mobile phone recycling units.

Vodafone has undertaken the corporate responsibility to take a direct control over their networks to control the energy level emissions. This could directly control the climatic conditions in long run. When network equipment reaches to the end of its active operations, it is sent for recycling. The underlying reason is to produce a seal proof system against the carbon footprint emissions. Vodafone as a network runner has also taken initiative to work in close quarters with both the mobile manufacturing companies and mobile phone recycling companies. Such association with one another creates a platform for collective responsibility and exchange ideas. These actions develop to draw blueprints to achieve a phase of reversal in the accumulation of carbon footprint.

Green Peace for analysing on Electronic goods manufacturers support for green environment.


Green peace as we all are aware of is one of the globally connect best organisation through times in the process of campaigning for peace and establishing its reach for conservation activities. Like-minded men with attitude leap forward as an NGO to reform some of the improperly attended globally like greenery around globe in 1971.Green Peace started a quarterly journal “Guide to Greener Electronics” and later sometime in 2006 created a committee to study the effects of toxic releases in atmosphere. This article on recycle mobile phones and the fate of your Mobile after sell your Mobile is explained well.

Green peace seems to be keen in trying to establish 100 per cent pollution free environment for younger generations across globe. Manufacturers of the Mobile companies to leap ahead of others bring out innumerable Mobiles a test of their endurance in the market. The manufacturer to reach his audience in the market tries to fabricate the Mobiles to the best of its form and partners to create a huge dust of carbon emissions to pollute the environment. Some of the best performing companies globally have been picked and past 2006, the Green Peace has evaluated their performances in terms of carbon emission control in 2008 . In fact, the data is collected from the annual reports of these companies and some confidential reports have been handed over to the Green Peace for unbiased evaluations. The underlying principle is to see the companies curb the aggressive business techniques, which give a lease to carbon emissions. The major companies involved were Samsung, Motorola, Nokia, Ericsson, and LG. Each company exposed their select Model and parameters as per their acceptance. Green Peace went through the minute details for carbon emissions and gave to the manufacturers’ respective suggestions. PVC is used in the mobiles and when the Mobile is for recycling it emits huge toxins as PVC contains minute amounts of BFR, and the presence of Antimony. This is usually available in energy usage segments like adaptor. Green Peace also checked weather proper information regarding power saving is facilitated or not. Green peace took note of lifecycle of each independent component , upgradeable parts, battery analyzed based on unit cost and the warranty period of the product, the recycling price of the product in line to the specified WEEE, rate fixed for the plastics after the product is recycled . The degree of response obtained in the take back schemes. After the evaluation, the Green Peace arrived to a conclusion as Samsung SGH-F268 ranked top, then Motorola V9 and Nokia 3110 reached to second position and Sony Ericsson C905 and LG KT520 reached third and fourth positions correspondingly.

The stuff conducted by the Green Peace is to make the companies go to public and stay committed in the areas of greener environment. In a way, this could keep the manufacturers of Mobile products keep committed to the process of environmental friendly environment.
