Nokia's "Remade" concept is all waste -- no, seriously

Nokia's been putting quite a focus on contributing to a greener, healthier world as of late -- still running off the high of winning Greenpeace's praise, perhaps -- and its latest concept, unveiled at MWC, takes the commitment to an extreme. The "Remade" phone is exactly that: a handset made entirely of recycled stuff. The case and keypad are fashioned from tossed cans, for example, and apparently, even the electrical components (never mind that the Remade can't actually place a call in its current incarnation) are entirely reused. No plans have been revealed to produce the Remade or anything quite like it, but the way Nokia's going -- and the way we're throwing away tin cans -- we wouldn't be surprised if it happened down the road.

Are you sure it's made *entirely* of recycled materials? The article doesn't seem to imply this...

Yes, we're sure. See the following: http://pressbulletinboard.nokia.com/2008/02/12/new-video-available-remade-concept/

"The idea behind the �remade� concept was to see if it was possible to create a device made from nothing new."

They mentioned tossed cans, not tin cans.
