Sony Ericsson has probably noticed that cellphones are not biodegradable and that these gadgets contain tiny elements that might endanger the environment. One good example is the phones battery which residue could leak into the soil and damage the surroundings if not disposed off properly. Finally, Sony Ericsson has the urge to put an end to this dilemma and has announced its pursuit to discover ways in manufacturing mobile phones using eco-friendly parts in its handsets. This project will be named The Green Heart.

The concept of Green Heart project is to delve into green technologies, using bio-plastic housings, recycled plastic keypads, zero charger with 3.5mW standby power, HTML based e-manuals, a game style educational application ‘Ecomate’ and environmentally- conscious packaging.
