Motorola has announced two new mobile devices that will make social responsibility and social connectivity even more accessible to people everywhere. The MOTO W233 Renew is the world’s first mobile phone made using plastics from recycled water bottles, while MOTOSURF A3100 is a high-speed touch tablet with a fully customizable home screen. Both handsets will debut this week at the 2009 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The MOTO W233 Renew’s plastic housing is made from recycled water bottles and 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. "Today, natural resources, energy and time are more precious than ever before," said Jeremy Dale, corporate vice president, global marketing, Motorola Mobile Devices. "From the product’s design, to the packaging to our partnership with Carbonfund.org, we wanted to ensure that this device makes the right impact with consumers and the environment." 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 Renew was designed for eco-conscious consumers as well as the millions of people who put making phone calls as their number one priority in a mobile phone. With nine hours of talk time (according to Motorola), CrystalTalk technology and messaging capabilities, Renew makes environmental responsibility affordable for consumers everywhere. The Renew will be available sometime in the first Quarter of 2009 in the US. |
