Eco Factor: Sustainable desktop PC concept to be made from bio-degradable plastic resin.
Industrial designer Cody Stonerock has designed a sustainable computer for HP brand that caters to the requirement of the low-cost computer market and helps keep the carbon footprint of the user to a minimum. The low-cost desktop computer is designed to feature fewer components and only offers basic computing power.
The system is assembled with no extra fasteners as all parts simply snap fit together. The monitor and the other main components of the system can easily be removed that allows the user to ship them back to the company for repair or replacement. Since none of the components are fixed, users can simply replace a broken component, which reduces waste and encourages recycling.
The computer is designed in a fashion that will allow the company to offer a take back program, which can be used to send the computer back for recycling once it has completed its life. The materials used in the system are as green as the system itself. The stand is made from recycled aluminum and the plastics used in the system are all biodegradable bio resins.
Apart from being low on carbon emissions, the systems in low on your desk space too. The keyboard mounts magnetically onto the rear of the monitor and the mouse can also be attached onto the USB port for easy recharging. Once the charging is complete, a hard switch is activated to eliminate all idle power.
