STOCKHOLM--Swedish telecommunications operator Telia Co. AB said
Wednesday that the Eco Rating initiative for mobile phones is set
to roll out globally.
Eco Rating was initially launched in May 2021 by Deutsche
Telekom AG, Orange, Telefonica SA, Telia Company and Vodafone Group
PLC to provide consistent, accurate information on the
environmental impact of producing, using, transporting and
disposing of smartphones and feature phones.
The program was originally launched in 24 European countries and
has since been rolled out in South Africa and Brazil.
In the next three months, Eco Rating is expected to launch in
countries including Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico,
Peru, Uruguay, Telia said.
More than 150 mobile phone models are now assessed by the Eco
Rating initiative, nearly doubling the range of devices rated at
launch, it added.
Fairphone, Realme and Vivo are the latest mobile brands to join
the scheme, alongside Bullitt Group, Doro, and HMD Global.
