A mobile phone that biodegrades into a sunflower and a printed circuit board made out of lasagne?!
These are just two of the innovative examples of green mobile phone technology revealed in a new Science Museum exhibition opening in London on March 29 2006.

Now white it is VERY unlikely we will be switching our production line to a pasta based one; we certainly like the idea and it’s great to see innovations in PCB technology.

A mobile phone that biodegrades into a sunflower and a circuit board made out of lasagne are just two of the innovative examples of green mobile phone technology revealed in a new Science Museum exhibition opening in London on March 29 2006.
Government Local Environment Quality Minister, Ben Bradshaw MP, who will be opening ‘Dead Ringers’ at Antenna – the science and technology news gallery of the Science Museum has already praised the exhibition for raising some important issues.
For mobile phones we can certainly see the benefit. After owning your phone for a year (usually) you’re ready for an upgrade. So you simply take the old handset, plant it in the garden and let nature take it course. After a short time your phone biodegrades organicly and you get a beautiful sunflower into the bargain! Very cool!
