Researchers make incredible breakthrough that could solve major problem with modern devices: 'They become obsolete'

A research team at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology has developed a fully biodegradable printed circuit board using lignocellulose, a natural wood-based material. This breakthrough could tackle one of the most pressing problems in the electronics industry: the growing mountain of e-waste. Nearly every device relies on a printed circuit board. These components traditionally use fiber-reinforced epoxy resin — a p…
