one-time mobile phone and other gismo are currently seen as an environmental risk , with landfills occupy up with toxic tech that ’s not doing the satellite any favor . But if a group of British scientist have their way , new cellphones could simply be flip on the land when you ’re done with them , as they ’d just decompose and sprout pretty flowers after not too long .
This would go on thanks to a “ extra biodegradable polymer which is all operative under normal workings conditions , yet starts to rapidly molder when placed in compost . ” So once you toss the phone into compost , the case would decay after a couple of workweek , and the sunflower seed inside would sprout up , bringing life where before there was none .
Only one problem : the fancy polymer would only be the casing itself , all the guts of the phone would be there in the compost heap pollutin ’ matter up like before . So yeah , while it ’s peachy that the fictile cases would be able to be composted , there ’s still a mode to go before you could throw your telephone out the window of a rush along car without feel bad about it .
