The Green, MOTO W233 Renew Mobile Phone
By Nick January 8, 2009
The talk of the recent consumer electronics show is, well, not much actually. Tech is one of the first sectors to dive with a bad economy, and such is the case this year. However, one bright spot is Motorola’s new carbon neutral, green, phone ‘comprised’ of recycled materials via water bottles. The struggling handset maker hopes to target the green market with basically the first phone targeting uber environmentally consumers.
As for its green specs:
- All the energy used to produce the handset is offest by Motorola = Carbon neutral certified by CarbonFund.org’s CarbonFree.
- The phone is recyclable (obviously) and is comprised of recycled water bottles. (Greenbang notes the possible tricky difference between term ‘comprise’ and ‘composed’. Benefit of the doubt given to Motorola though)
- Packaging is recycled, and reduced
While it does succeed as a green phone, it’s actual features are what you’d expect in an average candy bar phone. It boasts a crystal clear talk ability and a good battery, but it’s surely no blackberry. So if you’re just an average joe when it comes to phones and want to support a noble cause (while sporting a nifty green phone and story) maybe check out the phone this year which will be available to T-Mobile customers this first quarter already.
