+ Sony Ericsson GreenHeart

We've heard lots about phone recycling and how takeback programs are a key method for closing the loop on business's product cycles. We even did our own take on it, the LINC Lifecycle Phone.

Sony Ericsson seems very close to making this concept a reality with the GreenHeart. The phone features bioplastics, a 3.5mW zero charger, and eco-friendly packaging. According to many blogs, it was said to be a concept. But Appliance Design recently reported that 500 GreenHeart collection points are already in operation in 7 countries, including the U.S. Has anyone visited one of these collection points yet?
