IBM Develops Infinitely Recyclable Plant-Based Plastic [Plastics]
Earlier this week, IBM researchers announced a discovery that could lead to plastics made from plants instead of petroleum. The new plastics will be more energy efficient, more versatile, and infinitely recyclable (until we move to our space colony). More
Luxury green HTPC
Great - first we have computers that are bundled under the HTPC category, then we move on to a green HTPC and given enough time, someone has to come up with a luxury green HTPC. That's exactly what Seoul-based Green designer, Design Hara, came up with - a luxury green HTPC that has a recyclable chassis, handcrafted cypress wood or rose wood side panels and a front cover courtesy of natural sheep leather. All internal parts of the PC are connected using bolts and nuts, helping ease the recyclable e-waste separation process. For those who count dollars and cents, this HTPC requires only 33% of energy to run compared to a desktop equivalent, as it holds a Mini-ITX motherboard within alongside HDMI and DVI outputs, an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB RAM and a 1TB hard drive.

Green PC Made From Recyclable Materials
What does a green PC mean to you, something that’s easy on the energy consumption, or something that’s made out of nature? The Green PC designed by “Design Hara” certainly has the environment in mind, as the chassis is made from cypress wood from Italy or rose wood from Canada. Strangely enough, the front cover of this computer is made from natural sheep leather. It’s compatible with Mini-ITX motherboards and only uses about a third of the energy consumed by desktop computers. Features of this computer include an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB of RAM, 1TB hard drive, HDMI and DVI outputs.
