Because of the recent campaigning on a cleaner nation, we have seen interest rising for green products. Be it eco-friendly foods, vessels, clothes and bags, a lot of shops are available both online and offline to cater to the needs of the people. But what about some products like computers, mobiles and vehicles and such?
These products have mainly made into the mainstream because of the cheaply available, but sturdy plastic.

Newer cutting edge technologies arise every day, making people chuck their laptops, mobile phones, every year.
But many companies are now trying to team up with viable green solutions for their products. A great line up of laptops like MacBook Pros, Dell Studio Hybrids now are made from recycled and recyclable materials. Yes, plastic cannot be avoided totally till new ecological materials are developed for the circuits and motherboards. But, this is surely a step in the right direction.
