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.
