Griffith University discovered a way to make pcbs out of recycled plastic thus producinc lead free circuits at a low price.

Professor David Thiel and Mr. MadhusudanRao Neeli of CWMA, Griffith University have developed a new and efficient technology for circuit board manufacture and packaging that contains no harmful substances as stipulated under the RoHS directive and is environmentally friendly. It is also possible to use recyclable plastics meaning it also conforms to the WEEE directive. In addition the setup and manufacturing, costs of this technology can be significantly lower than that of the standard PCB manufacturing method. The technology is called "Circuits in Plastic".

 

The Circuits in Plastic manufacturing technology is an alternative to traditional PCB technology. As a more environmentally friendly way to realize electronic assemblies, it can be seen as a "greener" production technique. Furthermore it reduces the manufacturing costs of both circuits and electronic systems.
