Eco Factor: Carbon neutral USB flash drives made from natural hardwood shell.
To green your storage devices, FlashBay has debuted a new, green range of USB flash drives made from natural hardwood shell from a PEFC-certified source. The drive is machined from European maple and comes in different capacities that range from 32MB to 8GB. The most eye-striking feature is the ability of the user to brand the drive according to his/her specifications using laser engraving or screen printing. The company also claims that all the CO2 generated during the production of the drives has been offset by the carbon neutral company and the product also conforms to the RoHS Directive.
The Dark Side:
USB drives are nowhere to go and will only increase in speed and capacity and will shrink in size. At this point a green flash drive is something most EcoFriends would be waiting for. If the product doesn’t cost much more than other drives available on the shelves today, we don’t see any reason why it should not be a hit.
