An
Irish company, MicroPro, has produced what is now referred to as the
world’s “greenest PC”, the Iameco (pronounced “I am eco”) tablet PC. 20
per cent of the PC’s materials can be easily re-used in other computers,
and another 78 per cent can be recycled. The tablet was developed with
the help of the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and
Microintegration in Germany, which claims it is “the most
environmentally friendly computer of its type”.
Notably,
the computer’s casing is made from wood; MicroPro buys offcuts of
sustainably sourced timber, such as walnut, solid oak or beech, from
European furniture makers, and transports it back to a factory in
Galway,Ireland, to make the computers.
