Green_e unveils a keyboard made from 100% recycled plastic, a first

Many manufacturers are now integrating recycled materials into the chassis of their PCs or peripherals. We think of Logitech, Dell or Acer, which has even launched a Vero range dedicated to reducing the impact on the environment. In general, we talk about 30 to 70% recycled plastic depending on the color, but the French start-up IXT Europe goes further with its Green_e brand and its new keyboard made of 100% recycled ABS plastic.

This keyboard has a numeric keypad and adjustable feet to manage the tilt and should suffice for office use. It is available in a wired version at €19.90 and in wireless for just €24.90. A floor price that could give it excellent value for money if the build quality is there. We will verify all this in a test planned over the next few weeks.

Incidentally, a Green_e wireless mouse was also unveiled, but it is made of “only” 30% recycled materials. It has a sensitivity selection button (DPI), weighs barely 47 g and works with an AA battery for an announced autonomy of several months. It is commercially available for €14.90.
