HTC evo sprint 4g front 176x300 First Look: HTC EVO 4G Packaging
It’s coming June 4th. The most highly-anticipated android release of the year. It’s the Sprint EVO- the first of its kind that supports the 4G network. As it will be a few weeks before it hits the shelves lets take a sneak peak at the packaging.

Sprint is on the green scene, making a concerted effort to promote their environmental responsibility. It would only make sense then that the packaging is made out of recycled cardboard- nice touch!

Now lets look at the shape of the box. It’s interesting. Like none other we’ve ever seen in this market. It kind of looks like a microwavable dinner though if you’re planning on purchasing one of these phones, we don’t recommend that.

As more and more companies are looking to sustainable packaging solutions, packaging providers are trying to find unique ways to use the limited amount of resources to create eco-friendly packaging.

Eco-Friendly Cell Phone

Monday, August 24th, 2009

As consumers are being educated and motivated to become more environmentally-friendly, we are seeing more and more eco-friendly products being introduced.  One of these areas is the cell phone industry.

One example is the Samsung Reclaim that was recently offered for Sprint users.  Not only is this phone a more environmentally -friendly option, but it is also Sprint’s first 3G QWERTY phone to get down to only $50 after rebates with a signed contract.

80 percent of the material used are corn-fed and recyclable.  They skipped the paper manual, so less paper would be wasted.  They also used recyclable packaging printed with soy-based inks.

You don’t have to gibe up quality cell phone features to be environmentally-friendly.  This phone still has  a 2MP camera, GPS, and Bluetooth.  Better yet, with each purchase, a few dollars are donated to a land conservation  charity.  This phone proves once again, that you can have a quality product at a low cost, while still being eco-friendly.
