Great demand for eco-labelled mobile Phones
Why is it that manufacturers put eco labels on computer displays, TVs and printers but not on mobile phones? There is a huge demand among institutional purchasers and consumers who would like to see mobile phones with an eco label. Every week get several e-mails and phone calls from people around the world asking us at TCO Development why there are no TCO certified mobile phones, or which mobile phone can we recommend that has a minimal impact on the environment and that also has good usability.

An opportunity for mobile phones manufacurers to take the lead
If I was a marketing director at a mobile phone company and wanted to increase my market share I would definitely try to certify mobile phones according to an environmental certification program. Today this is an open window for the mobile manufacturer that truly would like to take the position as the brand to choose for green mobile phones.
