Fujitsu has taken the use of biodegradable plastic beyond disposable picnic stuffs and household items, and designed a notebook with a biodegradable chassis.The Life Book sports a chassis made of plastic derived from cornstarch, rather than usual petroleum. When disposed of, the chassis will decompose in a matter of months, as opposed to decades for standard plastic. Experts say, Cornstarch-based plastic emits 15 percent less carbon.
Fujitsu has also used the plastic on mobile phones and point-of-sale terminals.
The Life Book is currently launched only in Japan, but it is highly predicted that similar products will start to appear in the US and Europe. The cost of bio-plastic is expected to climb down as companies such as Cereplast and agricultural firm Archer Daniels Midland expand their production. Overall an emerging eco-friendly attitude, from an emerging company.
