Actually, E200 Eco is not the first Samsung bioplastic mobile phone. Samsung last June has been released Friendly Environment Phone W510 and F268, made from corn-based plastic materials. But W510 and F268 are not entirely as friendly environment phone because the designs are made of combination ordinary plastic and bioplastic. Meanwhile, the entire chassis E200 Eco made from the corn-based bioplastic.

Samsung also claims itself as mobile phone producer using techniques that do not use hazardous materials, such as plumbum, cadmium and mercury. F268 and E200 with the chargers are free from material that could endanger the environment. Besides Samsung, Nokia and NEC also began using bioplastic for its products. Announced this year Nokia will launch 40 models  of friendly environment phone that can be easily recycled.
