Nokia has unveiled three new devices, each boasting greener materials and design, as well as ‘Circular’, a device subscription service designed to keep phones in circulation for longer. Circular rewards users who keep their devices longer as well as cutting down on waste.
Circular Service
Nokia Circular is a subscription service which furnishes users with a device, promising to replace the device quickly when necessary. Nokia then refurbish, reuse or otherwise recycle your old devices, keeping the devices or their components in their chain.

Circular is available for select devices from Nokia.com/phones in the UK and Germany with global rollout planned in the coming months
