Sprint to Begin Shipping Accessories in Greener Packaging

Sprint has recently been named the 15th most green telecom company, and wants to get ranked higher in the future. Already the company has named several measures to become more environmentally-friendly; one such measure the company announced today is redesigning the packaging for its accessories to help save waste and money.

Beginning this month, Sprint will ship out these packages to all retail and online stores. The packages have become about 20 to 40 percent smaller, which will save 647 tons of waste each year; it will also help Sprint save 35% on packaging and shipping costs, to the tune of around $2.1 annually.

I do find it interesting that not only are these measures more eco-friendly, they will end up saving the company a load of money in the end as well. This is something every single telecom should be considering, if they aren’t already.

CORRECTION: I had written that Sprint was the 15th greenest telecom company, but I discovered that they were actually named the 15th greenest company in America by Newsweek. Here is the article.

    How can they be the 15th greenest telecom? There's only 4 major players. I believe they're the 15th greenest company in all industries.
