MOTO™ W233 Renew, the world’s first mobile phone made using plastics comprised of recycled water bottles
Today, natural resources, energy and time are more precious than ever before. That is why Motorola created the environmentally responsible MOTO™ W233
Renew. Not only is the phone’s housing made using plastics comprised of recycled water bottles and 100 percent recyclable, but Renew is also the world’s first carbon neutral phone. Renew delivers the quality you expect from a Motorola device while empowering you to reduce your carbon footprint. Renew was designed for eco-conscious consumers as well as the millions of people who put making phone calls as their number one priority in a mobile phone. Renew makes environmental responsibility affordable for people everywhere.
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.
Minimize Environmental Waste
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.
Talk More, Charge Less, Conserve More
With up to nine hours of talk time, you can talk more, charge less and reduce your energy usage.
A Commitment to the Environment
Renew is an extension of Motorola’s ongoing global commitment to reduce our impact on the environment. It is a convergence of efforts that lead to better products for everyone, such as Renew.
CrystalTalk™ Technology
Renew uses CrystalTalk technology to amplify your conversation and help reduce background noise so virtually nothing comes between you and your call.
MOTO Renew is expected to be available beginning in Q1 2009. For more information regarding pricing and product availability in your region, please contact your local Motorola representative.
