Nokia, Motorola, and China Mobile have agreed to work together on a campaign to collect and properly dispose of obsolete and abandoned mobile phone handsets in China.

The new “Green Box Environment Protection Plan” involves 1000 of China Mobile’s retail outlets, as well as several hundred Motorola and Nokia sales centers, providing recycling boxes for old handsets.

With 388 million cell phone subscribers, China is now the world’s largest market for mobile handsets. This kind of growth has produced a definite need in the country for a proper recycling system. The green box program, which launched in mid December, will hopefully go a long way towards establishing such a system.
