New DSLR made from Recycled Plastics

Sony Alpha Series Camera Body made from recycled CDs and DVDs

E-Waste reaches new heights! Sony demonstrates how to upcycle:

At the recent Consumer and Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Sony revealed that a total of 21 different exterior parts of the Sony a55 (Alpha) camera body use recycled plastics from optical disc manufacturing (CDs and DVDs). Kudos to Sony, which uses over 15,000 tons of this material annually in various products, including TVs, PCs and cameras.

The technology is out there - who will be the next manufacturing hero to step it up?
