Nokia leads the way on eliminating toxic chemicals. After eliminating PVC from their mobile range, Nokia will launch the first phones without components containing BFRs from the start of 2007. But Nokia loses points for failing to provide a clear timeline for the elimination of PVC from all its products range – including network equipment. Nokia gains points for sharpening up its understanding of what the precautionary principle means in practice. Nokia gets top marks on its support for Individual Producer Responsibility, which means that each company should take care of the electronic waste from its own-brand discarded products.

Congratulations! I’m proud that you aren’t a filthy dirty company, I’m not a tree hugger, but I do appreciate camping with my mates every once in a while.

Stefan Constantinescu (@WhatTheBit on Twitter) has loved technology since as far back as he can remember. It started with computers, but in the past few years his passion has turned to mobile devices. As a mobile phone enthusiast who lives and breathes devices that connect to the internet, he knows he is not alone with this radical fascination of all things wireless. He is strongly opinionated and enjoys a good debate so leave comments in his posts and he’ll get back to you! Stefan began blogging as a hobby in the fall of 2006 and joined IntoMobile in the summer of 2007. Later he got a job at Nokia in March 2008, but as of June 2009 he has rejoined the IntoMobile team. He is currently based out of Helsinki, Finland.
