Another entry from the Greener Gadgets Design Competition, the Wood Smart Phone by designer Gernot Oberfell.

To reduce the amount of plastic, this mobile phone uses an extruded wood composite, containing up to 80% of natural fibres. Components like buttons and caps are made of biodegradable plastic. The material can very easily be recycled and The materials are very suitable for today's livecycles of consumer electronics and very friendly to touch and feel, just like real wood.
