    "Basically it's a biodegradable phone cover that has an encapsulated seed so when the phone is finished with you can take it off, plant the phone cover in the ground and basically it will biodegrade and you will get a sunflower, creator Peter Morris said.

    It is estimated that nearly 1,800 mobile phones are discarded every day in the United Kingdom.

    London's Science Museum is currently showcasing the latest product in the electronic recycling category.

    The product may be on the market by the end of the year.
