New laptops of cardboard will help to reduce the mountains of e-waste on the planet

The service life of electronic devices every year is getting shorter, leading to rapid growth of the mountains of electronic and plastic waste. So why not make these devices disposable and made of materials that are easily recycled?!
On the website Yanko Design is known for exciting finds of designers, there is evidence of the development called Recyclable Paper Laptop. In translation it means "the laptop is out of paper", that is, it is made of paper.



The modular design of "housing" makes it easy to change damaged parts and recycle old wear and tear.
But knowing that the most harmful to the environment components are the battery and screen, but not the case, it is difficult to assess the potential contribution of the "cardboard" laptop in a reduction in the pressure on wildlife.
Maybe in the future when the current electronics will come "biochips" which decompose at the end of the term of service to harmless components, the idea is to have a real incarnation?



Still, one of the characteristics of paper case is a foldable stand that you can put to use right now: this element of the case (possibly removable) estimate would be appreciated many laptop owners
