Samsung announced two environmentally friendly mobile handsets, W510 and F268, at the World IT Show in Seoul this week.
W510 is Samsung’s first mobile phone with ‘bio-plastic’ made from natural material extracted from corn. Samsung has been making an effort to develop more renewable and eco-friendly material compared with common plastic produced from petroleum. Samsung F268 and all its accessories, including charger and headset, do not contain BFRs (brominated flame retardants) or PVC.
In addition, Samsung F268 has an alarm function to encourage users to unplug their charger when the device is fully charged. The product is following the Energy Star requirements as well, which are strict energy-efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy.
Both W510 for the Korean market and F268 for the Chinese market will be launched in June.
