Packaging is important because it protects our products as they make their way from our factory to you. We work to minimize its environmental impact:

• by thinking about the kind of material we use in our packaging
• by reducing the volume of material we use and
• by considering what happens to it after it's no longer needed.
  
  

The weight and size of packaging affects not only materials but the energy required to transport and store the products. We’ve saved energy in logistics by reducing the amount of printed material inside the sales packages. Examples of innovative packaging include:

Letterbox

Small Compact

In 2007 alone, we saved 15,000 tons of material by using smaller packaging. This also saved 100 000 000 liters of water, enough to fill a small lake.

Over the years we've been replacing plastic with paper-based material. We're also using more recycled packaging material. The Nokia Evolve 3110 pack in Europe uses 60 percent recycled content.

Packaging is an area where the we have been demonstrating savings not only for the environment, but also for the company. From February 2006, when we first created smaller packaging until the end of 2007 we had shipped 250 million phones using this new compact packaging. This resulted in 5000 fewer trucks being needed to distribute our products around the world and created financial savings of 100 million euros.
