Motorola to introduce eco-friendly phone
U.S. technology giant Motorola Inc. said it would introduce an eco-friendly mobile phone at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
One of three new phones Motorola will unveil when the show opens Thursday is the Moto W233 Renew, which has a protective housing made from recycled plastic water bottles, the Chicago Tribune reported Wednesday.
Motorola said the phone, which it calls, the world's first carbon neutral phone,
will be very affordable.
The company is set to introduce more eco-friendly products later in the year, having developed green design
standards to research each Motorola product's environmental impact, the Tribune reported.
Motorola will also unveil its extra-rugged Tundra VA76r, designed for a wide range of weather conditions.
Motorola did not announce prices, but said the new phones would be available from AT&T starting Jan. 13.
