Eco Factor: Cellphone made from surplus wood.

NTT DOCOMO has announced that the company has developed a mobile phone prototype from surplus wood of trees culled during thinning operations to maintain healthy forests. The phone was developed in collaboration with Sharp Corporation, Olympus Corporation and “More Trees,” a reforestation project.

Dubbed TOUCH WOOD, the phone has been made from surplus cypress wood, and no artificial colors and paints were used to ensure that wood retains its original natural appearance and aroma. These organic phones will be unveiled during the Telecom World 2009 to be held in Geneva, Switzerland.
