It was only yesterday that we talked about how e-waste is posing a threat to our environment, and today Motorola comes out with a new environmental-friendly mobile.

MOTO W233 Renew - the world's first mobile phone with components made using plastic from recycled water bottles will debut this week at the 2009 International Consumer Electronics Show at Las Vegas.

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. Renew is thus the first carbon neutral phone and has earned Carbonfund.org's CarbonFree Product Certification after a product life-cycle assessment. Renew will be initially available at T-Mobile USA in Q1 of 2009.

What's more? When it comes to designing the packaging, Motorola reduced the 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 the box makes it easy to return your previous mobile phone for recycling at no cost.
