Tecno has introduced the industry’s first back cover made from coffee grounds with the launch of the Tecno Camon 30 Series Loewe Design Edition. This innovative smartphone features a back cover partially composed of waste coffee grounds, highlighting Tecno’s commitment to sustainable smartphone design.
The Tecno Camon 30 Series Loewe Design Edition is a result of a collaboration between Tecno and the renowned German high-end TV and audio brand Loewe. The standout feature of this edition is the eco-friendly back cover, which incorporates more than 25% bio-based material, certified by the USDA. Tecno proudly claims this to be the first in the industry to use coffee grounds in smartphone design.
Sustainable and Stylish Design
The back cover of the Tecno Camon 30 Series Loewe Design Edition showcases a striking nature-inspired green colorway. The gradient design draws inspiration from the life cycle of natural leaves, symbolizing growth and life. This design not only enhances the visual appeal of the device but also emphasizes the harmony between nature, technology, and fashion.
The manufacturing process of the coffee grounds back cover is entirely sustainable. It uses no organic solvents, no additional water consumption, and is powered entirely by solar energy. Tecno’s innovative approach ensures that for every back plate manufactured, approximately 0.8g of waste coffee grounds are utilized, contributing to waste reduction and environmental sustainability.
Tecno and Loewe Collaboration
Marco A. Mueller, director of Design and Design Management at Loewe Design Studio, highlighted the synergy between the two brands:
The Loewe Design Studio brings a rich history of excellence in product design in consumer electronics, particularly in premium products. Loewe’s emphasis on high-quality design and innovative technology aligns perfectly with Tecno’s forward-thinking approach. This partnership allows both companies to leverage each other’s strengths, creating products that stand out in the competitive smartphone market.
Availability
The Tecno Camon 30 Series Loewe Design Edition is available across the entire Camon 30 series lineup, including the Camon 30 Premier, Camon 30 Pro, Camon 30 5G, and Camon 30. Aside from the unique back cover, the specifications of these devices remain unchanged.
With this launch, Tecno and Loewe have set a new benchmark for eco-friendly smartphone design, showcasing how technology and sustainability can coexist to create stylish, high-performance products that are gentle on the planet.
