OTTAWA—A Carleton University industrial design student has developed a prototype of an environmentally-friendly laptop computer that’s partially recyclable.
The eight-month project was the thesis of fourth-year student Scott Bodaly, 24, and will be on display at the school’s 30th-annual graduation exhibition this weekend.
When a friend accidentally dropped a laptop, Bodaly and three others decided to take it apart.
It took the four of them two hours to dismantle the computer—way too long for it to be easily recycled, Bodaly said.
