It may seem like a drop in the ocean for environmentalists, but the first-ever ‘green’ poker table will make its debut at this year’s World Series of Poker.

The main event winner will get one of the tables courtesy of its manufacturer, New Jersey company EGM Green.

According to pokerpages.com:

The eco friendly Tournament Poker Table, made from 98% sustainable materials, will be on display at this year’s WSOP.

Some of the details on the table’s manufacturing include:
# All wood is FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council) certified
# All paints and stains used in the table are formaldehyde free
# The table is assembled with water based adhesives

Whole thing here.

If you’re going to the WSOP, the table will be on display in the exhibit area of the Rio.
