Jiva Materials, a Hampshire-based pioneer in sustainable materials, has developed a new laminate called Soluboard to replace the glass fibre epoxy laminate currently used in the majority of PCBs.<\/p>\n<p>Jiva\u2019s new partnership with the University of Portsmouth aims to tackle the global problem of e-waste, which contributes to rising carbon emissions as well as ground, water and air pollution.<br \/>\nAvailable as a copper clad laminate, Soluboard claims to be the world\u2019s first fully recyclable rigid PCB laminate. Its organic structure can be dissolved using hot water within a controlled environment, enabling the recovery of the natural fibre, copper and electronic components containing rare and expensive minerals. This includes the potential to recover whole components for reuse.<\/p>\n<p>Glass fibre epoxy laminates used in existing PCBs not only contribute to e-waste but often use harmful persistent organic pollutants as flame retardants. Soluboard is instead made from non-toxic and biodegradable materials and claims to have a 60% lower carbon footprint. This is not the first recent innovation attempting to tackle recovery and reuse of components in printed circuit boards. In 2023, researchers in Kazakstan used polylactic acid (PLA) to bind together easily recyclable PCBs.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/resource.co\/article\/plans-unveiled-develop-first-biodegradable-pcb\">Resource<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-461\/\">Plans unveiled to develop first biodegradable PCB<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[12966,575,9556,12967],"class_list":["post-123695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-biodegradable-printed-circuit-board","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-pcb","tag-soluboard"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123695","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=123695"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123695\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=123695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=123695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=123695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
