Cell Phone Makers Go Green With Chargers
The companies have agreed to a common energy rating system that will enable customers to know which chargers are the most energy efficient. The new rating system will be star-based, and it will show how much power chargers use when left plugged into the wall but disconnected from the phone.
The ratings are based on the European Commission's energy standards for chargers, as well as the Energy Star standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The rating system was developed and will be supported by LG, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung Electronics, and Sony Ericsson.
The companies have been taking steps to help solve this problem, and they have made power chargers more energy efficient as well as implemented power-alert systems.
