+ Nokia's Eco Sensor

Nokia's Eco Sensor Concept is a mobile phone paired with a sensing device that will help you stay connected to both people, and your health and local environment. One can also share the data the sensing device collects which is supposed to help increase global environmental awareness. The sensor would be worn with a wrist or neck strap made from solar cells and will collect data relating to carbon monoxide, particulate matter and ozone concentrations, UV radiation, heart rate, noise level, air pressure, temperature and humidity.



The construction of the phone-like device is also ecofriendly. Nokia believes printed electronics is a promising technology which will allow for smaller devices. Bio-materials such as polylactic acid (PLA) are bio-based modifiers and can reduce the use of non-renewable materials and also results in less energy consumption to create the plastic pellets. Plans to make the housing from 100% reclaimed steel make this device very ecofriendly.
