DBL Distributing LLC, one of the largest and fastest growing wholesalers of consumer electronics in North America, today announced an eco-friendly product assortment by Micro Innovations, a global leader in computer accessories. With the addition of bamboo computer accessories, Micro Innovations offers the end-user an earth friendly product alternative that further protects the world from harmful, non-renewable products.

Bamboo is a natural resource that can be harvested and replenished with virtually no impact on the environment. It helps reduce the carbon dioxide gases blamed for global warming and can be harvested in 3-5 years versus the 10-50 years of harvesting time for most soft and hardwoods.

Enclosed in a solid bamboo shell, Micro Innovations’ bamboo keyboard is an elegant addition to any home or office setting. Other features include PC and MAC capability, laptop type scissor keys and plug and play technology. To further complement your eco-friendly office setting, Micro Innovations’ bamboo mouse features optical sensing technology, PC and MAC compatibility and right and left hand capability.

Perfect for making an earth friendly statement, Micro Innovations’ bamboo multimedia 2.0 channel amplified speakers contain the latest in sound technology in a beautifully crafted bamboo shell. Users enjoy rich sound performance and 8 watts of power while listening to music and movies through their computer or television. Other environmentally friendly bamboo computer accessories include a 1.3 mega-pixel webcam, 4 port USB hub, media card reader/writer and USB keypad.

“There is a high demand for environmentally friendly products. Research suggests that customers will pay a higher price for `green’ products and technology,” states Tim Coakley, Senior Vice President of Merchandising for DBL. “Micro Innovations has developed a great new eco-friendly product line-up that is stylish and speaks to an under saturated market of people who seek eco-friendly innovative technology.”
