In response to a paper by Greenpeace's Guide to Greener Electronics, PEGA Design & Engineering has developed a new product that is intended to replace plastic shell material in computer equipment and electronics.
The product contains a combination of paper and polypropylene (PP) which aids in recycling efforts and is intended to keep non-recyclable materials out of landfills. The PP should breakdown in sunlight and can be reclaimed. There is concern that polypropylene cannot be separated from the paper fiber and brings into question how the material will be recycled. As poster Paul Davis points out, it might have been better to use polylactic acid. Ultimately it begs the question, is this truly a recyclable material?

G-Form has a nice video of an iPad launched into the stratosphere via weather balloon and protected using its new protective gear "Extreme Edge" to see how well the gear worked in the iPad free fall to Earth.
The gear is being introduced at this year's CES where our own timothy will be attending and reviewing new products.
The cool part of this whole video is really that the iPad survives the free fall from space, remaining fully functional
