CES 2009: Motorola W233 Renew Phone is made from recycled water Bottles

Motorola unveils at the CES 2009 the W233 Renew mobile phone which is the world’s first mobile phone made using plastics comprised of recycled water bottles.
Not only is the plastic housing of Renew made from plastics comprised of recycled water bottles and 100 percent recyclable, but it is also the world’s first carbon neutral phone.
Through an alliance with Carbonfund.org, Motorola offsets the carbon dioxide required to manufacture, distribute and operate the phone through investments in renewable energy sources and reforestation. The phone has earned Carbonfund.org’s CarbonFree Product Certification after an extensive product life-cycle assessment.
When designing the packaging, Motorola was able to reduce its size by 22 percent and the box and all of the materials inside are printed on 100 percent post-consumer recycled paper. In addition, a postage-paid recycling envelope in box makes it easy to return your previous mobile phone for recycling at no cost.
The Motorola W233 Renew will first be available at T-Mobile USA in Q1 2009.
