Not long ago I wrote about Nokia’s effort in making their handsets more green or environment friendly. Aside from the Eco Sensor Concept that they are working on, reports have it that this number one handset maker is also developing a phone that makes use of recycled materials. They call this the Remade mobile device concept. According to Nokia’s website, “It has been designed using recycled materials that avoid the need for natural resources, reduce landfill, and allow for more energy efficient production.”

So, what kind of materials will be used for Remade? None other than aluminum cans, plastic drinking bottles and old car tires. The aluminum materials as well as the plastic bottles will serve as the casing of the phone, while the old tires will be the rubber key mats. And to make the phone even greener, environmentally sound technologies will be used such as the printed electronics and display graphics that help conserve energy.

The concept design of Remade was shown yesterday at the GSMA Mobile World Congress where Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasuvo gave a keynote speech.
