Tecno has partnered with German high-end TV and audio brand Loewe to bring us a special edition of the Camon 30 series<\/a> designed by Loewe. The standout feature here is the back cover, which is made in part from waste coffee grounds.<\/p>\n This is, in fact, the industry’s first back cover made from coffee grounds, Tecno proudly claims in its official press release on the matter. The colorway features “a striking nature-inspired green” that “reflects commitment to sustainable and stylish design”.<\/p>\n The gradient design is “inspired by the life cycle of natural leaves with a color palette that represents the growth and life of the green leaf”. Tecno says the design “is a celebration of nature, technology and fashion working in harmony for the good of the planet”.<\/p>\n The back cover is composed of more than 25% bio-based material, a claim that’s certified by the USDA. The manufacturing process of the coffee grounds back uses no organic solvents, no additional water consumption, and is entirely solar powered – the only buzzword missing here is “AI”, we’re not sure how that one was missed.<\/p>\n For every back plate manufactured, approximately 0.8g of waste coffee grounds will be used. The new edition is available throughout the Camon 30 series, comprising of the Camon 30 Premier<\/a>, Camon 30 Pro<\/a>, Camon 30 5G<\/a>, and Camon 30<\/a>. There’s no other change to the devices aside from the new back cover, the specs remain identical.<\/p>\n Marco A. Mueller, director of Design and Design Management at Loewe Design Studio, said:<\/p>\n 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 strenghts, creating products that stand out in the competitive smartphone market.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n![\"Tecno](\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/05\/tecno-coffee-grounds\/inline\/-1200\/gsmarena_001.jpg\")
