Nokia ‘remade’ concept explores recycled materials in cellphones
Phonemag:” “remade” has a casing made from recycled aluminium cans, a chassis formed from plastic previously used for drink bottles, and rubber keys made from old car tires. Inside, printed electronics are more environmentally friendly to manufacture than traditional circuit-boards, and even the display graphics have been selected to save energy.”
The Green Pirate would love one…
GreenPrint: “GreenPrint eliminates wasteful pages in any printout automatically, saving you time and money, and maybe more importantly, saving trees, reducing greenhouse gasses, and decreasing waste.
GreenPrint’s patent-pending technology does this by analyzing each page of every document sent to the printer and looking for typical waste characteristics (like that last page with just a URL, banner ad, logo, or legal jargon).
GreenPrint also incorporates an easy to use PDF writer, a fantastic print preview called GreenView, and a reporting feature which keeps track of the number of pages and the amount of money you have saved.
Our product line includes two options for home users: Greenprint World, our free version of the software, and GreenPrint Home Premium. For companies of any size, GreenPrint’s Enterprise Edition provides insight into waste reduction through a company wide printing overview, as well as tracking the number of trees saved and the CO2 reduction. It also provides an easy way to reuse paper that has already been printed on one side before recycling it.”
