Sprint Nextel Corp.

The news builds on Sprint’s earlier commitment to implement a sustainable design blueprint for all future retail stores and refurbishments. Products featured in the new green section will include carrying cases made of recycled materials and the new Reclaim cell phone from Samsung, which is made of 80 percent recyclable materials.
