Griffith University Patents New PCB Technology Print E-mail
Written by Philip Buonpastore   
Wednesday, 26 December 2007
Queensland, AU - Griffith University School of Engineering and the Cooperative Research Centre for Microtechnology reportedly has developed a new PCB called Circuits in Plastic, a recyclable electronic circuit technology that is said to use less toxic materials than traditional PCBs.

According to David Thiel, professor,  “At present, Circuits in Plastic is the only alternative circuit board technology available. This technology is clean and green. There is zero use of chemicals during the circuit board manufacturing process, meaning less by-products end up in landfills.”

The new technology complies with the European Union’s Reduction of Hazardous Substance laws which go into effect on July 1, 2008.
