Sony’s ‘Vive el Cambio’ recycling scheme passes the 1-ton mark

At Sony we’re committed to delivering a sustainable future both for our business and for the environment and communities within which we operate. The Vive el Cambio recycling campaign is a part of that commitment. It’s a scheme based in South America designed to recycle electronic waste, recover potential valuable elements and reduce the amount of harmful materials that end up in Landfill.

Since starting in May 2014 we’ve been rewarding Sony users in 10 South American countries who hand in their old products – in return we’ll offer them discounts on Sony gear. The early signs are that it’s working so far, we’ve collected 1.2 tonnes of old Sony electronics for responsible recycling. This means that, for example, we have enabled the re-use of about 220 kg of copper in new products.

In addition to copper, many of our products contain other useful elements that have practical uses outside of the lifespan of a smartphone, (did you know our phones contain both gold and silver, for example?). It’s obviously important that those precious metals don’t go to waste – so we’ve been recycling them, giving us the possibility of repurposing them in the future into a bunch of sustainable new stuff for you all to enjoy.

“We’ve been excited and enthused by the response to Vive el Cambio; it’s great to see people’s enthusiasm and their interest in helping us create change.” - Melisa Biman, Customer Service Manager in SOMC Argentina

‘Vive el cambio’, or ‘live the change’ is a part of our broader sustainability programme, It embodies our commitment to making the biggest possible sustainable impact not only by how we reuse and recycle but also from the technology we produce. This particular project may be one of the more significant initiatives but it’s only the beginning in our journey to reach our overall environmental vision Road to Zero.

Design, Size, Weight, Screen are flawless. I couldn’t say anything else, because I was surely impressed on how much Nokia put thought into this device. Speed for me is just fine; some have complained about its RAM and processor, frankly I would tell them they have no idea about computer mechanics. There is something they haven’t noticed and people like me would pay top dollars for. That is the NO FAN option, finally can sit in bed and not disturb anyone with the whizzing sound of the cooling fan. Plus what more can you ask from a netbook, use it as it was design and supposed to be used so just plug in a 2GB Flash drive and use it as a ReadyBoost or have you totally forgot about that?. Coming back to the essential elements of this device, using the 3G gave me the ability to sit where and when ever I want. No Dongles, Bluetooth, or Cable connections required. Power on and connect, simply amazing feeling you’ve got knowing you can get what you want in no time. The Nokia Booklet 3G is such a good device that I know use it as my own corporate computer device. Called in IT and asked them to remove my bulky laptop back it up on the local network so I could access it on my booklet. My desk is so clean right now it’s not even funny. I put this device to the ultimate test on the first day of work, dropped my notebook pens and every manual item you can possibly take to a meeting. Fired up OneNote, held a 3 hour meeting took all the notes I needed on my Booklet, attached pictures from my N900 and I was the first one out of the door. Didn’t have to gather all my papers, put together my laptop disconnect my charger, and wind up all sorts of wires. The best part I even leave quicker, All I’ve got is my Booklet and I’m out, charger is at home.
