Motorola bets some of its users will fall for the notion that if a mobile is made of recycled water bottle plastics it is worthy of being purchased. The mobile phone manufacturer’s eco-friendly phone is the MOTO W233 Renew.
The MOTO W233 Renew is the world’s first mobile made out of the water bottles people once drank out of. The casing of the phone, said Motorola, is fully recyclable. The packaging of the phone is reduced in size and the printed materials are printed from post-consumer recycled paper.
Motorola also purchases carbon offsets for each one of these phones manufactured. Greenies wanting a phone like this will be able to turn to T-Mobile sometime in the first quarter of the year.

I agree with your opening statement–they are hoping that people will maybe want to actually buy this phone. It is a good idea in that it’s smart to try to find ways to reuse materials, but this is more a PR attention grabbing, news story effort. But hey nothing wrong with trying–besides maybe this will turn out to be a good phone.
