It’s nice to see companies placing an emphasis on going green with their products. Case in point - Panasonic announced today that their new lineup of DEC cordless telephones are 100 % Energy Star Qualified. In addition, the company took several initiatives to make their products more environmentally friendly including:

  • Use rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries which are accepted in a free rechargeable battery recycling program
  • Packaging has been reduced by 30 percent in volume
  • No more styrofoam in the packaging

Some examples of the new DECT 6.0 phones include:
