Gauss

Designed by Russia based Fastway:

"At first we found the appropriate brandname. After that the logo appeared. And met lots of different dots. The objective was to create package for power saving lamps which considerably would differ from all other packages of the lamps presented in retail networks. Besides, it was necessary to show that Gauss lamps are the premium-segment, having justified, thus, their higher than at the majority of competitors price. The main idea of the package – minimum superfluous, but maximum sense and convenience. On the face side – only a lamp category, its appearance and key parameters of choice. To attract more attention some objects (dots, lamp) were UV-lacquered. The packages for 93 lamp types were designed fast and with pleasure. No one dot was lost."

Samsung Reclaim

The new Samsung Reclaim is being billed as "the first phone in the U.S. constructed from eco-friendly bio-plastic materials": 

"Made from 80 percent recyclable materials, Samsung Reclaim is a feature-rich messaging phone that offers environmentally conscious customers a perfect blend of responsibility without sacrificing the latest in network speeds and must-have features.

Its bio-plastic material, made from corn, makes up 40 percent of the Reclaim’s outer casing. Samsung Reclaim is free of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), phthalates, and nearly free of brominated flame retardants (BFR): three materials commonly targeted on green electronics guidelines.

The outer packaging and the phone tray inside the box are made from 70 percent recycled materials. The images and text on the box as well as the phone warranty information are printed with soy-based ink.

The typical thick paper user manual has been replaced with a virtual manual that users can access online."
