CES 2009: motorola ‘renew’ sustainable mobile



while most gadget makers are showing off products with faster chip sets and bigger screen,
very few are focusing on their product’s sustainability. motorolo will be launching their new
renew w233 mobile phone during ces. while the mobile phone has minimal features and pretty
standard form factor, the phone is made from recycled pet bottles. motorola is claiming the
phone is the world’s first carbon neutral mobile, when compared to others using only a
percentage of recycled plastic. in addition, the device will come packaged in an earth-friendly
recycled paper case that uses 22% less material and only uses soy-based inks. but the
phone’s sustainability reaches further than the package and case, it is also designed to use
less energy when in use.
