One charger finally!
The Mobile phone insdustry has finally got together and come up with a solution to the problem of having different chargers for every differnet model of handset.
It is estimated that old chargers made up 51,000 tonnes of waste last year releasing 21.8 million tonnes of greenhouse gases.
Now 17 operators and manufacturers have joined forces and will now offer 1 type of charger which will fit all models of phone.
Good news for the environment, good news for places that which to offer charging faciliaties such as cafes, planes, hotel and trains, good news for drawer space in our houses, and good news for when you visit friends no need to take a charger with you.
Soon it will be possible to just buy the phone and be offered that charger if you wish to have one. It’ll take a few years to flow through as everyone upgrades their handsets but eventually we’ll all be sing the same type.
