Motorola W233
Renew: Re-use, Recycle
Simple to recycle, Renew is the first mobile phone to be made from plastics comprised of recycled water bottles, which means 20 percent less energy is needed to create the phone compared to standard plastic processes. Plus, the plastic phone housing is 100 percent recyclable, which promotes future environmental responsibility.

CarbonFree Product Certification
Motorola is making it easier for you to support the environment. Renew is the first certified CarbonFree® alternative to conventional mobile phones. Through its alliance with Carbonfund.org, Motorola offsets the carbon dioxide required to manufacture, distribute and operate the phone during its lifetime through investments in renewable energy sources and reforestation. Even the phone's reduced packaging size and in-box materials printed using vegetable-based inks on 100 percent post-consumer recycled paper were created with the environment in mind. And, by reducing package size and weight, we help reduce transportation emissions. An in-box postage-paid recycling envelope also helps you easily return your previous mobile phone for recycling and contribute to environmentally responsible efforts. Renew uses CrystalTalk technology to amplify your conversation and help reduce background noise so virtually nothing comes between you and your call.
