Scientists Create Biodegradable Circuit Boards for Greener Wireless Devices
Engineers in Scotland are developing eco-friendly circuit boards to make wireless communication devices more sustainable.
printed circuit boards (PCBs) are a major environmental problem, accounting for up to 40% of global electronic waste.
They are made from non-recyclable materials such as flame-retardant composites and ceramics.
- PCBs are essential components of nearly all electronic devices, from smartphones to routers.
- Once discarded, they end up in landfills, releasing toxic substances into the environment.
The University of Glasgow and Jiva Materials collaboration aims to tackle this issue with biodegradable circuit boards.
