Mobile matters for a more sustainable future

Mobile devices have an environmental impact at every stage of their lifecycle:

  • Manufacturing: Around 80% of a phone's carbon emissions come from the production phase*, due to resource-intensive manufacturing processes and mining for minerals like lithium.
  • In-life usage: Emissions are generated by charging, mobile data usage and connectivity requirements.
  • End of life: Typically, old devices are sent to landfill​, accounting for 10% of global electronic waste**.

That’s why it’s so important for businesses to consider mobile when looking at ways to become a more sustainable business. Discover our offering to help you reduce the environmental impact of your mobile devices.
