<h2>End-of-Life practices</h2>

<p>Nokia Networks' customers can contract with Nokia for an
environmentally responsible end-of-life (EOL) treatment for obsolete equipment.
The purpose is to recover the obsolete products' material and energy content
and to ensure the safe treatment of substances that can cause harm to people
or the environment, if disposed untreated. In the life cycle perspective,
the EOL treatment can compensate for some of the environmental impacts of
the earlier stages of the product's life cycle.</p>


<p>Nokia Equipment Take Back Service provides Nokia Networks'
customers with an end-to-end service that includes the removal of end-of-life
products from the customers' network and ensures end-of-life treatment in
an environmentally responsible way. The Equipment Take Back Service is offered
in several modules representing the end-to-end workflow of the process:</p>


<ul>
<li><p>Removal</p>
</li>
<li><p>Collection </p>
</li>
<li><p>Recycling</p>
</li>
<li><p>Project Management</p>
</li>
</ul>


<p>The customers may elect to perform one or more modules
themselves and procure services from Nokia to perform the remaining modules.
In Nokia or Other Vendor HW Replacement, that is, swap cases Take Back Service
brings in Collection and Recycling Service as Removal and Project Management
are already included. The pricing is scaleable according to the modules.</p>
