Almost 100%-recyclable circuit board turns to jelly for disassembly

Posted on by

A new type of printed circuit board (PCB) could drastically reduce the amount of electronic waste that ends up in landfills. Although most PCBs are difficult to recycle, such is not the case with this one, which partially turns into a reusable jelly wh… Continue reading Almost 100%-recyclable circuit board turns to jelly for disassembly→

Electronic circuit degrades on demand into recyclable pieces

Posted on by

Old electronics are tricky to recycle, meaning they clog up landfills while locking valuable metals away. Now scientists have demonstrated printed circuits that can be degraded on demand, returning their materials to reusable forms.Continue ReadingCate… Continue reading Electronic circuit degrades on demand into recyclable pieces→
