Environmental Sustainability in Broadband Networks Sebastião Sahão Júnior Director - Corporate Department of Network Infrastructure and Laboratories Rio de Janeiro, 19 de junho de 2012

Environmental Improvements Resulting from the Use of Broadband Tech Potential impact of changes stemming from the delivery of broadband is estimated to be an incremental reduction of more than 1 billion tons of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over 10 years

Broadband... Batteries Telephones From dream to reality

Brazil 2011 ~ 195 mi people The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) estimates that some 20 to 50 million tons of e-waste is generated worldwide annually. In the past, telecommunications have little impact on the natural environment Currently, the environmental impact is very important.

By the end of 2008, the number of mobile phone subscriptions was five times the number of fixed telephone lines

Batteries Telephones Environmental effects from operation and production, as well as from the end-of-life treatment of telecommunication equipment, have become increasingly serious issues.
