The biodegradable PCB material looks interesting, https://www.jivamaterials.com https://www.jivamaterials.com
Seems at an early stage of development (fairly low accuracy surface?), but seems it would simplify recycling a lot. Just need waterproof enclosures for more things!

- atoav 4y agoI mean this has to be tested. "Biodegradable" can come in many flavours. For a single use product it would make sense to rot within months. For a PCB it would make sense to rot within multiple decades to a century. If you manage to get a PCB that has all the properties of a regular PCB, but rots after a century that would probably also make recycling the other materials on that PCB less energy intensive.
