From cell phone to sunflower

Scientists make phone cover that turns into flower
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (Reuters) — Scientists said on Monday they have come up with a cell phone cover that will grow into a sunflower when thrown away.

Materials company Pvaxx Research & Development, at the request of U.S.-based mobile phone maker Motorola (MOT.N), has come up with a polymer that looks like any other plastic, but which degrades into soil when discarded.
