Sustainable product design concept: recyclable paper laptop

I repeat: CONCEPT ;-)  Designer: Je Sung Park



Sure, there are some "technical challenges" to figure out before a working model could be produced.
But, the "no way", "that's a crazy idea", "that will never work" folk better pipe down...

If you would have shown someone the concept model for the iPhone 20 years ago, you would have had similar responses.

The only associated wording I'm not so happy with is the term "disposable". That's exactly the type of unsustainable design thinking and wasteful behaviour we need change.
Please,... no more "planned obsolescence" design.

Technology evolves... Brilliant minds evolve... Markets evolve...
If we really, really wants it,... badly; someone, somewhere, will come up with the necessary solutions to make it happen.
