Eco friendly mobiles from Samsung

It seems that eco friendly is the matra being followed everyday. Samsung has also got into the environment friendly mobile groove and has launched 2 new handsets recently - W510 and F268.
W510 is Samsung's first mobile phone with 'bio-plastic' made from natural material extracted from corn. Samsung has been making an effort to develop more renewable and eco-friendly material compared with common plastic produced from petroleum. The w510 handset, is free the use of any heavy metals, such as Lead, Mercury, and Cadmium, even during its production. Only water-soluble coating is applied.

Samsung F268 with all the accessories including charger and headset does not contain BFRs (Brominated Flame Retardant) or PVC. Whats more? The handset has got an alarm function to encourage users to unplug their charger when the devices are fully charged. The product is also following the Energy Star requirements as well, which come from the strict energy-efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the US Department of Energy.

The W510 has been launched for the Korean market and F268 for the Chinese market. Hopefully, it will spread to other countries as fast as possible because environment protection is now a major concern.
