    Fine – it’s made of bioplastic, which is derived from corn. Same thing, right? Plus, it’s better than the other title I was considering: “The Samsung Eco E200 – it’s corny!”

    While the definition of bioplastic varies widely depending on who you’re talking to, the important part is that it’s a material made (at least partially) of some sort of vegetable oil rather than petroleum. It’s also supposed to be a good amount more biodegradable than traditional plastics.

    However Samsung is defining “bioplastic”, the E200 is entirely encased in it. Check it out in all of its green guilt-curing goodness over at Crunchgear.
