Samsung has made the formal shift towards Greener Electronics today with the announcement of their latest Eco-friendly cell phone, the Samsung E200 Eco. The phone was showcased at the Beijing Olympics and earned its stripes from its external case which is made of ‘bio-plastic’. This ‘bio-plastic’ contains natural plant-based materials extracted from plants such as corn.
The E200 Eco is also packaged in a non-coated recycled paper box to add to the environmental friendly theme. You will be able to purchase the device in Europe starting in early September, but no other details have been given for a worldwide launch date. The E200 joins two other phones, the W510 and F268 which were also showcased at Green Zone in OR@S during the Olympic Games.
Samsung W510 is Samsung’s first mobile phone with ‘bio-plastic’ made from natural materials extracted from corn. During W510 production, Samsung did not use any heavy metals, such as Lead, Mercury, and Cadmium.
Samsung F268 is the first BFR / PVC free mobile phone. The device as well as all the accessories including charger and headset do not contain any BFRs(Brominated Flame Retardant) or PVC. Moreover, it has an alarm function to encourage users to unplug their charger when the devices are fully charged. The product follows the Energy Star requirements as well.
