Nokia is said to be planning to launch around 40 new mobile phones this year - each containing biodegradable components that can be easily recycled. D Shivakumar, VP and managing director, Nokia India, told India's Business Standard newspaper: "We will be using biodegradable phone covers, recyclable battery designs that use less harmful toxic materials and energy efficient accessories for all our forthcoming phones. Already, we have eliminated the use of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) in all our phones."

The company is also evaluating plans to put a prepaid postage bag within each box when a handset is sold to allow customers to return their older model for recycling.

The Nokia 3110 is already said to by sixty-five percent recyclable - and the company has plans to reduce the power consumption of mobile phone chargers by 50% by 2010.
