AT&T in a quiet update has revealed that it has started to clamp down on the environmental standards for its phones. Starting this year and culminating in 2011, the company now expects that at least three quarters of the phones it sells will use 65 percent or more recyclable material. These companies will also have to reduce the amount of packaging they use, reduce the level of toxic materials to ROHS levels, and use ethically sourced materials that avoid trouble spots like the Democratic Republic of Congo.
