Samsung W510 and F268

Mail to friend Samsung recently made its entry in the eco-friendly cell phone category with the launch of two new handsets -- W510 and F268. W510 is the company's first mobile phone that has 'bio-plastic' made from natural material extracted from corn. The company plans to use renewable and eco-friendly material instead of using common plastic produced from petroleum. Samsung claims that it didn't use any heavy metals such as Lead, Mercury and Cadmium in its latest eco offerings. The other model Samsung F268 does not contain BFRs (Brominated Flame Retardant) or PVC. Also, its accessories including charger and headset are free from BFRs and PVC. The products are in line with Energy Star requirements set by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the US Department of Energy.
