Recycling

Always return your used electronic products, batteries, and packaging materials to a dedicated recycling collection point. This way you help prevent uncontrolled waste disposal and promote the recycling of materials.

All mechanical parts as well as packaging materials have been marked where practically possible.2 Plastic parts are marked in accordance with ISO 11469 and ISO 1043-1 to -4 standards.

This product and its battery have been marked with the crossed-over wastebasket symbol (WEEE Directive) to signify that they cannot be disposed of with regular household waste and need to be taken instead to an appropriate collection point.

Environmental impact

Energy use: 156 MJ3

Greenhouse gas emissions: 9 kg CO2-eq.3

These figures represent the estimated environmental impact of this device over a product life cycle including 3 years of usage. This impact is equal to driving 54km in a typical family car. The mobile phones with basic functionalities have typically smaller environmental impact than the devices with wide range of features. However, the latter ones provide the user with more opportunities to reduce the personal environmental footprint by reducing the need to buy, use and charge multiple devices.

The above energy use and greenhouse gas emissions figures are based on a Life Cycle Assessment in accordance with the ISO 14040 and ISO 14044. These calculations take into account the raw materials acquisition, component manufacturing, Nokia’s own factory processes, inbound & outbound logistics, usage (3 years) and recycling of the mobile devices. The source data is measured at our own factories and operations and collected from suppliers. In addition we use internationally available LCI databases.

The life cycle assessment method has been externally audited. The environmental impacts of different accessories, packaging, user guides, and Nokia corporate overhead including travel are not included.

3The results of a life cycle assessment (LCA) always depend on the calculation method, scoping and assumptions used; and they reflect our understanding at the time when published. The results are therefore not directly comparable with those conducted by other parties.
