Let the future of more environmentally friendly hand-held computer 8 Ways

2009, sales of laptop battery all over the world are expected to reach 100 million 5 million units, the first breakthrough in desktop sales. However the majority of notebook computers, perhaps using only 3 years, it will be left idle or thrown into the waste station. Designers are on this delicate little machine "re-hatting", makes it from the "birth" to be able to have more recycling economy, environmental protection and conservation.

The following is a list of the portable computer is the main existing problems and the solutions proposed by scientists. Problem 1: petroleum-based plastic shell solution: use of alternative raw materials cereal Compared to traditional plastics, bioplastics --- new polymer production plants cost less energy. Fujitsu manufactures a hand-held computer,Canon bp-511 and its use Likelihood Materials half shell, half of the use of traditional materials. At present, they are now being tested plastic castor oil, one of more than 80% of all biological materials. Problem 2: waste treatment solutions: upgrade, do not waste The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimated that the annual emissions of the United States to 19,000 tons of waste portable computer. Will not be long before the upgrade of mobile computer than replaced more easily and cheap, Canon nb-1l , nb-1lh,like not only a reduction of trash sent to the e-waste market, but also to save energy, save a whole new computer accessories required. Asustek (ASUS) recently introduced a mobile computer allows users to simply by moving a panel to change processors, graphics cards and other parts, do not need to spend a few hours to demolish computer. Problem 3: Factory energy solutions: Factory set up more effective The production of a laptop computer to use it with the required almost as much energy, however, the new plant may greatly reduce energy consumption.

As the world's most environmentally friendly computer chip factory,Canon nb-2l , Canon nb-2lh one of the fastest growing Texas Instruments in 2009 will be able to put into production use. Compared to its previous facility, the new plant will consume less than 20% of the electricity and less than 35% of the water, less than 50% of emissions of nitrogen oxides, and construction costs will be reduced by 70%. One of an energy-saving measures are, the plant generated by the use of large air-conditioning waste heat for water heating is free and no longer required in four of polluting gas boilers.

Problem 4: Super energy display solution: to create more environmentally-friendly light source Single LCD screen may be "eaten" notebook computer more than half the electricity, Canon nb-4l , Canon nb-3l, "culprit" is its fluorescence Backlight flashing. New laptop computers more efficient use of next generation high-power light-emitting diode (LED). Astigmatism by the organic diode (OLED) displays will be manufactured in "small size", just like mobile phones. OLED can save a lot of energy, a lot of companies want to be able to quickly realize the benefits. Problem 5: high-speed rotation of the hard disk drive solution: become a flash The future, hand-held computer may use less memory consumption to replace the hard drive to reduce energy consumption 10 percent.

Dell the first time this year released a 32G flash drive of the notebook computers, Canon nb-5h , Canon nb-5l , Samsung said that in 2012, they can drive the company's stored data may be 30 times the current.

Problem 6: large power solution: the use of solar power Portable solar power charger for the current notebook computers,canon digital camera battery , MSI (MSI) Computer Corporation has developed a solar cell components with portable computers, can access on computer use. Problem 7: toxic waste solution: do not use lead Hand-held computer parts will be released from gas, the law on this dangerous challenge. Last year, the EU issued a laptop computer for the legal restrictions on toxic substances, the United States have also developed a classification system of the same.

The future of computer production could be considered silver and copper to replace the lead. President Bush recently ordered the 95% of government departments should comply with the American Electronics Products ecological standards. To the end of 2011,Sony np-fc10 , Sony np-fc11 , removing approximately 3,000 tons of extremely hazardous waste.

Problem 8: recycling difficult solution: portable computer at a tag stickers Computer recycling is very expensive and time-consuming, are usually taken out to demolish part of a valuable re-use or sell,Sony np-fe1 , Sony np-fr1, but they must check each computer to determine the computer is a "feed." Georgia Institute of Technology Valerie Thomas suggested that if the portable computer on the factory at an additional radio frequency ID tags will help the recovery of those staff members told the recovery of useful components.
