Nokia seems to have taken a leaf out of Samsung’s book, with its assembly of a ‘Re-made’ phone constructed largely from trash.

The phone was made using old PET bottles, soda cans and car tires to show how the process of Upcycling can be used to create new, environmentally-friendly products.

Nokia commented that “many small actions when multiplied by large numbers, can indeed change the world. We can see the result of the many small actions here.”

Apparently, 44 of the 112 known elements are used in each typical mobile phone. Nokia is seeking to reduce the number and the toxicity of the materials to produce more sustainable handsets.

The ‘Remade’ has a metal casing made from soda cans, gaskets and keypad backing made from car tires and plastic components made from reused PET bottles.

Hopefully we’ll see something like this reach production soon.
