Nokia%20Recycling.jpgWhile forward-looking, sustainable handsets, like Nokia's Remade and Eco Sensor Concept are being developed, the number of unused mobile phones is estimated to grow to over 155 billion over the next year. Thus, with cell phones' current lifecycle of about 18 months and shrinking, the Finnish mobile tech giant decided not wait for its ultra-savvy concepts to hit the market and do something about the mounting pile of e-waste now.

Introducing the Nokia We Recycle initiative - a way to save your old cell phone from a landfill at no charge. Urging consumers to be gentle to the environment and not throw old phones in the trash, the company pledges to recycle them in a way that conserves our natural resources while asking nothing in return.

Want to let Nokia recycle your old set? Just go here, give your contact info, and wait for a prepaid envelope to arrive. Yes, it's that simple.
