Biodegradable phones! You must be pondering, how it is possible! But, that’s an unique innovation the Japanese can mate. NEC’s N70i cell phone case is made from potatoes, corn and kenaf, making it biodegradable. With delicious recipes cooking in your mind – as it seems to taste great with butter and a little salt, you must be worrying about a phone being perishable, rather ‘biodegradable’.
Don’t worry. The cute clamshell will simply rot and decompose when you chuck it in the compost. And the most environmental contribution of the innovation lies in the manufacturing process itself. It uses far less CO2 than your average petrochem-based plastic mobile. Thank you ‘The Raw Feed’ for informing about this wonderful eco-friendly mobile. But, the saddest part of it is that, it is currently only available in Japan.
Motorola too have launched such biodegradable mobile phones, which was also reported Hippy Shopper in March of this year.
