Ocean Plastic Mouse: this is Microsoft’s sustainable mouse created with recycled plastics collected from seas and oceans

Yesterday we had an avalanche of new Microsoft products and one of the most curious presented by the brand was precisely the one that had the hardest time to find a gap between everything presented. Its about Ocean Plastic Mouse, a mouse to use in appearance where the secret is in the manufacturing process **.

And is that the Ocean Plastic Mouse is, at first glance, a conventional mouse. Neither the shapes nor the functions nor the colors differentiate it from the rest. Where the Ocean Plastic Mouse makes a difference is in the materials that give it shape, based on recycled plastics.

Up to 12 months on a single battery

Far from the grandeur of the other products featured, the Ocean Plastic Mouse seems like something much more modest, but don’t be fooled. It may be the way to go for to reduce the environmental impact of human activity if this type of practice spreads.

And it is that the Ocean Plastic Mouse is a mouse that reaches the market with the flag of being a sustainable product. The reason is that it is made with recycled materials based on plastics from seas and oceans. Of those with which human beings dirty and pollute the waters. In fact, in the presentation, Microsoft announced that recycled plastic is 20% of the total plastic in the mouse.

To complete the circle, Microsoft makes use of plastic-free packaging and adds a recycling program So when we buy the Ocean Plastic Mouse we can recycle our old mouse so that it can be used to create new mice.

Regarding the specifications, we are facing a wireless mouse, with Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity and that works using a single AA battery which, according to Microsoft, gives it an autonomy of up to 12 months.

The Ocean Plastic Mouse can be reserved now at a price of $ 24.99 And as in the rest of the devices, we still do not have information about its price in euros and its arrival in other countries.
