One source of media attention was the announcement on 22 October that the International Telecommunication Union had approved a solution for energy-efficient universal charger for mobile phones as part of efforts to mitigate climate change, according to the United Nations website. The program will allow all future mobile phones, regardless of their production and model, to use the same charger. It is estimated that the implementation of the new standards could reduce standby energy consumption by 50 per cent, reduce excess chargers by 51,000 tons per year and thus reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 13.6 million tons.
In today's growing concern about environmental change, this is actually a particularly practical thing, and this program is also a great convenience for mobile phone users. According to relevant statistics, mobile phone users will change mobile phone terminals every year on average, and the current mobile phone battery charger interface standards are inconsistent, resulting in mobile phone users must change the charger, the original charger can only be abandoned, further increasing the generation of waste plastic waste
