ASUS, the computer company suddenly realized the need of environment friendly laptops. And that’s the result of this Ecobook or eco-friendly laptop.
ASUS Ecobook is a notebook that is made upon environment friendly materials. The outer shell is made up of fine bamboo panels. Similarly the mouse area is also made of the same material. They claim that Ecobook is 50% recyclable and hence highly eco-friendly.
ASUS Says:
Bamboo has great significance for Asia; it is a beautiful material and a natural choice for evoking the Asian Zen minimalist design that informs the EcoBook. As a natural material, each piece is unique, making each EcoBook distinct from another. It can undergo several treatments to achieve a variety of colors or even laser etched with designs limited only by the imagination. It is also tough and resilient. Moreover, bamboo is found in abundance, grows very quickly, and as opposed to plastic, it is biodegradable.
ASUS put this notebook to final test by taking it to Mt.Everest expedition. They say “EcoBook successfully accompanied a Mount Everest expedition and is litmus proof for the EcoBook’s robustness, even under extreme conditions.”
