Nokia evolves into making a phone "from nothing new"

nokiaremade.jpg

Remember the part-recycled Nokia Evolve? Well, the Finnish communications giant set itself a new challenge to keep in Greenpeace's good books make a phone constructed entirely of "nothing new". The Remade is the result.

Presumably the recycled element applied more to the case than the innards, but said case is made from aluminium cans, car tyres and old plastic bottles; as well as this, the phone features backlighting with reduced power consumption, hence improving the battery life substantially. Unfortunately it doesn't actually work and is unlikely to hit the shops soon, but if it inspires any company to get moving and turn prototypes into a greener reality, then it's all good. There's even a product video showing you the phone up close.
