Nokia unveils “Remade” concept at Mobile World Congress

Nokia has unveiled the “Remade” concept phone, made entirely of recycled materials, at MWC.

Although just a prototype and non-operational at the moment, the message this phone sends is very good, and very green.

The case and touch-sensitive keypad are made from old cans, hence their metallic finish. Even the electrical components can be created from recycled materials.

“It really shows what can be done with materials,” said Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo. “It is only a concept now - I cannot make a phone call - but it gives you an insight into how we think we can break new ground.”

It’s great to see Nokia thinking green while trying to stay classy. The phone looks good, and certainly would do more good than harm were it ever produced.
