Imagine this: you buy a new computer monitor, take your old one and just bury it in the garden. 3 years later the monitor has biodegraded and your prized tomatoes are growing better than ever. The world's first 100% biodegradable computer components have arrived from MicroPro, a company based in Dublin, Ireland who produces eco-friendly computers, keyboards, mice and flat-panel monitors.
"...With iameco computers, we have cut this waste out, and have built beautiful, high-specification computers without any of the toxins that have traditionally been used in computer manufacture..."
Modular Design:
The designs are ascetically stunning and easily upgradeable. The computers modular design is what makes them different from other computers: our computers are updatable, upgradeable, reusable, recyclable and at the end of the life of them we can replace the main board and start all over again. You can remove individual parts and reuse them or replace them with more modern parts. The life span of these computers is 7-10 years, up to 3 times the lifespan of an average computer. The computers are a third smaller than average computers on the market, requiring less energy to manufacture. They require less energy to run as well: "this runs on low power - 35W in normal mode, whereas other computers use 300W, and 4W in standby mode, says Maher. Many of the keyboards, mice and monitors have a wood based frame and are made from the waste product of the pulp industry in Europe. These materials are 100% biodegradable. Other components are made of wood harvested from sustainable sources: beech from Germany, ash from the USA, and dark wood from East Africa. You can bury them in the ground and they will go back into the soil within 3 years. The use of reusable materials and recyclable packing results in a zero waste product. The product is very close to achieving the European Eco label, a world first.
