London headquartered telecom giant Sony Ericsson has revealed two new environment friendly mobile handsets. The phone models called C901 GreenHeart and Naite,are claimed by the company as one of the most green products available in the market. The company has tried to reduce the environmental impact by replacing the traditional paper version of product manual with an electronic, in-phone manual. This, the company claims, will save over 90% in paper. Adding to this the product will be packaged in a more compact manner and the phone casing is made from a minimum 50% recycled plastics. It also features optimised display light sensor that uses less energy. The phone is coloured with waterborne paint that lowers exposure to Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). The C901 GreenHeart will ship with the MH300 GreenHeart headset, one of the greenest headsets available, made up of 100% recycled plastics in 4 out of 5 hard plastic parts and far exceeding legal environmental requirements. The other phone, Naite will come to market with a low-power charger, the EP300 GreenHeart charger. With these innovations the overall CO² footprint over the full life of the C901 GreenHeart and Naite is reduced by 15%, the company says. Naite includes an Ecomate application helping users make greener choices in their everyday life as well as a Carbon Footprint Calculator to show you how much CO² you are saving when you walk instead of taking the car. Though the prices of the products are not revealed by the company, the C901 and Naite will be made available in Q2 and Q3 of 2009 respectively.
