But HP researchers believe there's value in creating a printer with a case that degrades in landfill conditions within three months. A biodegradable product would at least eliminate the need to incinerate plastics that aren't recyclable. A printer that will self-destruct. Good marketing ploy, you can sell a ton of printers that way. Why are the greens interested in hi-tech? Isn't that a sacrilege in their earth worshiping socialist cult?
Who throws their printer away?(From the owner of an still running LaserJet 4L) The problem is the cartridges that you can't refill because they are now one use only!
