How do you make a Reclaim cell phone?

Ingredient No 1. is corn. Corn? Yes corn. As funny as it might sound, Samsung’s Reclaim is made from corn.

The entire phone is made of 80% recyclable materials, and the case is crafted from a material that is 40% composed of a corn-based plastic. The phone has no polyvinyl chlorides (PVCs) or brominated flame retardents (BFRs) –both big no-no’s for the environment– in its innards. The phone has a lot of green credits to spare.

When it comes to functionality, Samsung’s Reclaim doesn’t offer much out of d ordinary. But if do like corn, you will like this phone. It’s also quite affordable. The price tag is free when you sign up for a new Sprint service contract.
