Eco-Friendly Xperia Line?

[GracedChip]

   I'm interested in buying a new phone and had read the Sony was trying to create a line of eco-friendly smartphones, the Xperia, specifically the Xperia Z/ZR/SP were all made from 99% recycled materials? What I want to know is whether or not Sony has held up on its, "The company has come up with its “Road to Zero” environmental plan, which aims for a zero environmental footprint"? Is the Xperia line still being made with recycled materials?Anyone know where I can go to find information that lists the materials smartphones use to make their phones? Otherwise, I think my best environmentally friendly option is buy a used or refurbished model.

Hi GracedChip,

Welcome to the community.

I'll see if I can find this out for you. Maybe someone else in the community can help in the meantime.

Thanks,

hello @GracedChip 

unfortunately it would be difficult to find out specifically what materials the device is made with, however there is some information on the following link on how they recycle these devices,,,
