New to the market: Moto Renew

The first mobile phone in the world made using the plastic of recycled water bottles (you knew it was coming), the Moto W233 Renew, is truly and quite literally green. Palm-sized and portable, it's also carbon-neutral, meaning Motorola has funded environmental programs to offset the carbon emissions created during the manufacturing of the phone.

Naturally, you'll want to charge it using a Solio solar charger. And just as it is in the beginning, the end of Moto Renew's life leads to something new. That's right: The 2GB phone can be completely recycled. (Find full details here. $51 for T-Mobile.)

On the topic of dying phones, don't think your digital dinosaur is best off in the junk drawer. Do some good and send it to Recellular, who will dissect it and reuse every salvageable piece their zero waste initiative.
