Nokia plans greener Pakistan initiative


STAFF REPORT ISLAMABAD: Nokia Pakistan has recently kicked off a two-month long Mobile Phone Take Back and Recycling Campaign in collaboration with Ufone, Unilever, Radio FM 91, ARY Music, Orient Advertising and United Media.
“All these companies joined hands to improve the environmental awareness in Pakistan and to provide an easily accessible solution for responsible recycling of mobile phones, accessories, chargers and mobile batteries of all brands,” said Adeel Hashmi, Communications Manager, Nokia Pakistan & Afghanistan.


Recycling is processing old materials into something new in order to prevent wasting useful material, to cut down on energy consumption and to reduce the need for waste land filling that can spoil Pakistan’s environment.
The official said that people across the country are contributing to the campaign by recycling old and redundant or even broken mobiles that are no longer of use.
He said that taking part in this campaign is easy: simply bring your old mobile devices, chargers, batteries and accessories of all brands to one of the 33 Nokia Care Centres or Ufone Sales and Service Centres across the country.
