The recycling of these AT&T devices in 2011 avoided sending 25,471 pounds of waste to landfills. In September, AT&T launched a line of phone chargers with housings made of at least 30 percent post-consumer plastics. The chargers are also Energy Star 5-rated, meaning that they use “minimal” power when plugged in.
In July of this year, AT&T was named as the most sustainable US telecoms firm in a study by Verdantix. Also in July, the company launched its eco-ratings system in stores, allowing customers to compare cell phones’ environmental impacts.
