Samsung Announces New Bio Phone


Today Samsung announced a new phone made partially from bioplastics. The E200 Eco is a new bar-style phone, and its entire exterior case is formed from bioplastics, which are materials extracted from corn. The E200 has a 1.3 megapixel camera and media playback capabilities. Its charger has been made without a flame retardant material that is harmful to the environment, and the phone's packaging will be made from recycled materials. The phone will be available in Europe in September. No U.S.-based carriers have announced plans to carry it.
