Corporate Responsibility

PRODUCTS AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Motorola aims to reduce the environmental footprint of our products by finding ways to reduce their impact at each stage of the lifecycle - design, manufacture, distribution, use and end-of-life.

We follow these environmentally-conscious design principles:

• Use environmentally-preferred materials
• Increase the amount of recycled materials
• Improve energy efficiency
• Reduce packaging
• Increase the recyclability of our products
• Go beyond compliance

We operate global take-back programs to collect our products for re-use, recycling and responsible disposal.

Informing consumers
We have developed a product ECO Facts webpage for consumers that provides environmental information on 50 U.S. Motorola mobile phones, 10 mobile phones in Canada and 20 products in Latin America.

Digital cordless phones: Developed with the environment in mind

Digital cordless phones: Developed with the environment in mind

In 2008, we launched two new energy saving digital cordless home phones — the D10 and D11. The new phones automatically adjust to optimize output depending on how far they are from the base unit, using less battery power and increasing talk-time. The phones are also made using 20 percent post-industrial recycled plastics, which saves resources and energy during manufacturing.
