New USB chargers from AT&T are green enough yet?

So, you are one who tries to make a difference in the world by making the right kind of consumer and lifestyle choices with an eco-friendly slant all the time? Well, if that is the case, then you might be interested in what AT&T has in store for you – new USB chargers that are made out of post-consumer plastics, meaning that these wall and car chargers have housings constructed from a minimum of 30% post-consumer recycled plastic in order to help you make a more conscious-friendly decision when it comes to your purchases. These new wall chargers will also sip on minimal juice when plugged in, and are Energy Star 5 rated while exceeding California’s Energy Commission 2013 efficiency standards.

AT&T does seem to be getting bigger on being green, where over the course of last year, the telco company introduced accessory packaging made from up to 30% plant-based materials, as well as kicking off a consumer-focused sustainability website known as EcoSpace. Not only that, they also launched a trade-in device recycling program that results in an eco-rating system concerning the slew of new AT&T-branded postpaid handset devices. [Press Release]
