AT&T customers now have the option to purchase wall and car chargers with housings made from at least 30 percent post-consumer recycled plastic. AT&T continues to work with its suppliers to provide consumers sustainable products.
Over the last year, AT&T took major strides in the field of sustainability, from introducing accessory packaging made from up to 30 percent plant-based materials, to creating a consumer-focused sustainability website – EcoSpace – to launching a trade-in device recycling program to creating an eco-rating system for all new AT&T-branded postpaid handset devices.
The new wall chargers are made with at least 30 percent post-consumer recycled plastics and use minimal power when plugged in for optimal energy conservation. The chargers are Energy Star 5 rated and exceed California’s Energy Commission 2013 efficiency standards with a focus on reducing "Vampire Draw" while not in use. If a customer were to leave the wall charger plugged in for a year without use, it would consume only the equivalent of a 100-watt light bulb left on for a day.
Understanding that most consumers want the best products with the least environmental impact, AT&T ensured that these chargers are more powerful than their predecessors. With increased amperage allowing for 10-watts per port, customers can rest assured that their device, whether a phone or tablet, will charge at full rate when it is plugged in to one of the USB ports. The wall charger is also capable of international use.
