The youth research network project of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany has produced a breakthrough technology called “biodegradable printed circuitâ€. Researchers use natural and compostable materials to make printed circuits if the technology is successfully applied. It can make the world's millions of tons of e-waste every year to achieve natural degradation, greatly reducing the difficulty of electronic waste disposal, and eliminating the large number of toxic hazards caused by the disposal of electronic waste.
Researchers use plant extracts to replace semiconductor materials with gelatinous organic materials. "The printed circuit may not be as old as inorganic materials, and it can be completely degraded after life expectancy." It does not become an electronic waste accumulation, KIT Dr. Gerardo Hernandez-Sosa, head of the youth research project team, said. When they are no longer needed, he claims that these processed electronic components can be treated as bio-waste or compostable materials, which will rot like organic materials and break down other organic matter. This is completely different from some electronic products (such as OLED) with the word "organic Organic". This is what is called true organic. “We can call carbon-based compounds 'organic', but they don't mean they are environmentally friendly.â€
Bio-gelatin from natural extraction has good semiconductor properties, and scientists plan to commercialize this organic printed circuit within three years.
