Dec. 7, 2007 Nokia has unveiled a cellphone whose charger beats Energy Star efficiency requirements by 94%. The new 3110 Evolve, which is sold in packaging made from 60% recycled materials, also features a cover made from more than 50% renewable material.

Nokia president and CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo introduced the Evolve at an industry event this week in Amsterdam, where he highlighted the company's efforts in energy efficiency, materials use, product takeback, recycling, and packaging.

"With market leadership in an industry of this scale also comes responsibility," Kallasvuo said. "We are committed to taking a leading role in increasing environmental awareness and performance right across the industry, creating further products and services that help people make more sustainable choices."

Earlier this year, Nokia became the first manufacturer to put alerts into its devices to encourage people to unplug their chargers. In 2006, Nokia downsized its standard packaging by 54%.
