This Samsung Clover is an eco-friendly cell phone design made of recycled materials. Its PLCD back changes colors as the battery level fades, turning from opaque to clear. And LCD and electronic sensor add-ons help you further manage your energy consumption.
The Samsung Clover is designed by Jin Woo Han, Arim Kim and Faten B in conjunction with Samsung Corp Milano.
Implications - Smart companies have caught on to the power of eco consciousness, integrating an element of green into all products and campaigns. The easiest way to do this is to use recycled materials when manufacturing products, providing a way to maintain a line's original aesthetic while simultaneously going green.
