HDMI cables can be eco-friendly too, apparently.

hdmi_tpe.jpgI have to admit, it never occurred to me that HDMI cables could be eco-friendly or, in fact, unfriendly. But this is foolish - of course plastics and rubbers can be made in different ways, and this particular cable is made of Thermoplastic Polyester Elastomer. This is an alternative to the traditional PVC, and apparently much kinder to the environment.

That, according to Wikipedia, is because TPE materials have the potential to be recycled and reused unlike rubbers with similar qualities. Plus they require little or no added agents and the production process consumes less energy. Got that?

It's a 25-foot cable with gold plated connectors to avoid interference, available for $69.95 (£35) with discounts for bulk buys.
