Motorola's new phone wants your old plastic bottles

Next time when you throw you used plastic bottle into the recycle bin think about this - that bottle could just give birth to a new phone in Motorola's production line. No, I'm not kidding! Motorola has in fact unveiled the world's first mobile phone which is made from recycled plastic bottles. Looks like since Motorola hasn't been able to offer any innovation in terms of technology, the marketing team has taken over to give a new image to its phones.

The Moto W233 Renew is described by Motorola as the "world's first carbon neutral mobile phone." Because it is based on recycled plastics, Motorola said today that 20% less energy is needed to produce the phone, compared to the standard plastic process. To further the green theme, the Renew will come to customers in a box that is reduced in size, and with brochures printed using vegetable-based inks on 100% post-consumer recycled paper.

Device specifications or price details are not available just yet. But will consumers care? I mean, would you choose the Motorola W233 over similarly priced Nokia or Sony Ericsson just because it is made from recycled plastics? C'mon moto - show us what this baby can do!
