Imagine Your Mobile Phone Made Out Of Nuts…

So on their way to creating greener mobiles for us to use, the NEC Corporation in the US, have just announced that its boffins have come up with a new kind of bioplastic made from cashew nut shells.  Which is why they are boffins I guess, as I can think of absolutely no use for a cashew nut shells but apparently they are high in Kardanol.

Hurrah, so now it’s not only a low cost natural material that is environmentally friendly, its a renewable resource (unlike oil) that's fully biodegradable.
