Bangkok--27 Nov--Aziam Burson-Marsteller
Nokia (Thailand) Ltd., has joined with the Central Group, World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Playhound, recycling company TES-AMM and Thai Association of Landscape Architects (TALA) to lunch the “Nokia Loves Earth” campaign to raise awareness about phone recycling. Being a green company, Nokia is encouraging people to drop any brand of unused mobile phones and accessories at Nokia take-back boxes located nationwide. For every mobile phone dropped off, Nokia and TES-AMM will each donate 25 baht to support WWF Thailand in exploratory co-management interventions in Kuiburi Nation Park in central Thailand, including human-elephant conflict mitigation. The first 8,000 mobile phones dropped off at a take-back box at any of the 12 Nokia Care Centers, 23 Nokia Shops and Playhound shops will receive a limited-edition phone pouch, designed by Playhound, valued at 700 baht. The campaign runs from now until 14 February 2009.
