With the growing concern about the current state of the environment, it feels good to know that even IT companies and PC manufacturers are doing things in their own little way to contribute to environmental protection.
Take the case of Dell which is using bamboo materials for the packaging of its notebook products including netbooks. In fact, Dell is the first IT manufacturer to use bamboo material of its product packaging. How noble right?
In case you're wondering why Bamboo, well this lowly material is said to biodegrable and renewable and is a good alternative to molded paper pulp, foam or corrugated cardboard.
Dell use these bamboo materials for the upholstery of the Inspiron Mini's packaging. And according to sources, Dell is looking for other ways to use these materials to their product manufacturing, hopefully they are not planning to use it as a body casing for netbooks.
