So you're anxiously awaiting your biodegradable car and your biodegradable 3D glasses, waiting for the day when everything you own can return to the loam from which it sprang. But, what about the computer you're using this very moment? It's probably made of non-green materials like injection-molded plastic, and slapping some bamboo on it isn't fooling anyone.
Design and engineering firm PEGA comes to your rescue with a new composite material made of recycled paper and polypropylene alloy. Lightweight, durable, and inexpensive to produce, it acts just like typical ABS plastic -- and it even comes in the classic soul-killing beige. Maybe this is what Apple's been waiting for.

wow, that's amazing!
I wonder if it would break down in a devices lifetime though... That would suck.
However the lightweight part sounds like a massive bonus.
that's cool
i still don't like plastics...
That's awesome. I think I'd want it in another color than "soul killing beige" though :) maybe "Look at me red"?
