Universal phone charger to cut waste

Having been read this information about the cause of phone chargers to universally work together, I found it beneficial to share to everyone.
Leading mobile operators and manufacturers have announced that they'll work together to create a universal charger for all mobile phones. The group includes Nokia, T-Mobile, Sony Ericsson, Vodafone and 3.

Many households contain a mess of different proprietary phone chargers. As well as making like simpler for users, the universal charger is an attempt by mobile phone manufacturer to reduce waste.

The companies hope to create an energy-efficient device that will cut standby energy consumption bu half. As the new chargers will work with any handset, is task to supply. Between 50 and 80% of the 1.2 billion handsets sold in 2008 were replacement handsets, shipped with a new charger. Getting rid of the need for these duplicates would cut production of chargers by at least 51,000 tonnes annually, reducing waste significantly.
