Fujitsu introduced a wooden laptop case

This week, Fujitsu will launch a new laptop with wooden casing instead of traditional materials like plastic or metal, to increase the environmental friendliness of the product.

The new laptop is a model, using cedar wood as a shell, and using bio-plastics for other parts of the computer. Bioplastics are plastics produced from renewable resources such as vegetable oils instead of kerosene used in traditional plastics.

The new laptop will be called Fujitsu and Monacca, a Japanese design team specializing in wooden products. Monacca makes many products, from household items to wooden bags, and sells on its website. Recently, Monacca also launched a portable computer case with a wooden case.

Although a completely wooden PC is not a goal Fujitsu aims for, but since 2002 it has been moving towards using bio-plastic materials for its products. The laptop model of Biblo NX95 uses up to 30% of bioplastic material to make the case.
