Showcasing the drool-worthy
Bamboo concept phone
Mar 5, 2008
In response to an online greener gadgets competition, Dutch designer Gert-Jan van Breugel has conceived a fantastic-looking phone with components made completely from recyclable bio-plastic and bamboo.
In his submission Van Breugel quotes some pretty unsettling statistics, including that the environmental impact of making a mobile is 36kg of CO2, and that only about 10 pecent of discarded phones are recycled.
Bamboo is a phone designed to breakdown at the end of its usable life. The bamboo component goes in your compost bin and bamboo seeds inside the case transform it into a plant that will offset the environmental impact of manufacturing the phone.
