Consumers obsessed with the “need to upgrade” are flooding landfills with old, non-biodegradable cell phones, laptops, and iPods. The MOTO W233 Renew offers a potential solution. The first “carbon-neutral” cell phone is constructed with a casing made from 100 percent recycled water bottles. It even comes with a prepaid envelope for when you inevitably need to dispose of it; just mail it back to Motorola to be recycled.
