Samsung E200 Eco Green phone


Samsung unveiled a “green” cell phone on Thursday at its OR@S Olympic Rendezvous event in Beijing, China in conjunction with the 2008 Summer Olympics. The new phone is the Samsung E200 Eco (right), which is made of bioplastics from plant-based materials rather than traditional petroleum-based polycarbonate plastics.

A 9.9mm slim bar E200 is re-launched with a new name, 'Samsung E200 Eco.' The phone is made with more substantial materials for the environment. Its whole external case is made from 'bio-plastic,' which contains natural plant-based materials extracted from plant such as corn.

Samsung will extend application of bio-plastic to endeavor in reduction of fuel consumption and carbon emissions in the manufacturing process. 1-ton of bio-plastic used in E200 Eco is able to reduce 2.16-ton of CO2 compared with Polycarbonate produced from petroleum. Samsung has been making an effort to develop more renewable and eco-friendly materials in collaboration with Cheil Industries.

Geesung Choi, President of Samsung’s Telecommunication Business, said, “We are committed to being an environmentally and socially responsible corporate citizen. We strive to make more products as green as possible and to proactively set up and expand a phone recycling system.”

This mobile phone will be available on the European market from early September.

The significance of using bioplastics — which are made of corn and other organic materials — is two-fold:
  • It reduces the production of non-renewable plastics
  • Samsung claims that the manufacturing process for bioplastics reduces fuel consumption and produces 35% fewer CO2 emissions

Samsung has only used bioplastics in phones and not any of its other plastic-based products such as televisions. The company says it is testing the use of bioplastics in other devices but does not currently have plans to introduce bioplastics in any of those product lines.

2P slim portable mouse

The slim portable 2P mouse is a perfect solution for those of you that can't stand using the trackpad and that find the little travel mice just too small to operate. When packed to go, this portable mouse is the smallest, thinnest most elegant accessory you can imagine possessing. When ready for mousing it ever-so-gracefully flips into a strong, 3 dimensional, hand-fitted laptop mouse, built for long hours of stable and comfortable work.

The new 2P Slim USB Optical Mouse is a laptop mouse that transforms itself in order to be easily stored yet easily used when traveling and working with a laptop.
This 5mm thin, fine-looking "piece of mouse", fits inside the laptop memory card slot or a small pocket, and solves both the problem of always having dead batteries, and finding extra space for a bulky mouse in your laptop case. The 2P laptop mouse allows you to neatly retract and hide the USB cable, and saves you from finding a "wire monster" waiting inside your bag as you open it. The 65cm (25.5 inch) long USB mouse cable provides you with sufficient length for working comfortably, so you're not restricted in your mousing movements.

The 2P slim laptop ergonomic mouse opens up to a full-size, smooth operating, working-horse-mouse with a strong and durable metal and rugged plastic body, built for an extensive, long-lasting usage. Its touch-scroll pad prevents accumulation of dirt, dust or sand and its cable-hiding mechanism protects the USB cable from tangling, tarring and disconnecting.

Features
  • A unique double featured laptop mouse – slim, flat, easy to carry and saves space when traveling. It twists open to a strong, 3-dimentional structure for mousing.
  • Stores in your memory card slot (or inside your smallest pocket).
  • Steady structure - does not "lean" on a fragile "kickstand" when open – easy to work with for hours.
  • Fits all laptops – PCs and MACs – by a USB connection.
  • A length adjustable portable mouse - fits all sizes of hands.
  • Easy scroll operation for rapid navigation - just gently slide your finger on the smooth center touch-scroll wheel.
  • Touch-scroll wheel – when traveling no sand or dust will ever interfere with your portable mouse scrolling.
  • Comfortable left and right buttons (won't break or get stuck after no time).
  • "Plug and play" - and just "scroll on"….
  • No torn or mixed up cables – the retractable USB cable stores quickly and neatly under the laptop mouse surface.
  • A Schick, origami-like, luxurious designed slim portable mouse (like no one else has…). Comes in 4 different colors to choose from.
