 Realizing that PC cases are no longer going to be made with brominated
flame retardants (BFRs,) which prevent fires but cause birth defects,
Sony has been looking for some new solutions. They found their
savior in the hundreds of thousands of horrible DVDs they, and other
movies studios, produce every year.
They've created a new kind of plastic by mixing ground-up DVDs (85%)
with styrene elastomer (as non-toxic as styrofoam), and an inorganic
filler. The resulting plastic is actual more fire-proof, way less
toxic, and signficantly cheaper than BFRs.
Congratulations Sony, and thanks for continuing to make horrible Tim Allen movies!
