Mobile handset manufacturers are working to reduce the environmental footprint their products leave during the manufacturing process and throughout their lifecycle. Regulatory pressures and corporate responsibility mandates are forcing the issue on one level, and on another, voluntary initiatives by some vendors are leading to more “eco” friendly handset models and programs. The impact will be seen in the volume of handsets that come back through recycling programs, and in the amount of e-waste the industry leaves behind.
