Motorola has designed a new cellphone called the Motorola W233 Renew that is environmentally friendly. These phones are made with recycled plastics and is considered to be a carbon-neutral cellphone. Benefits of this design includes the elimination of polyvinyl chloride, asbestos, chlorofluorocarbons and halons. The phones are packaged with 100 percent recycled paper, and they even include a prepaid shipping envelope for the customer to ship back their old cell phone so it can be properly disposed of.
