There's been a lot of research in the past 5+ years around PCB recycling methodologies that may be less environmentally challenging and costly than smelting, the only currently viable process. These new pilot projects have involved mechanical/LF vibration or closed loop chemical solutions. This is the first study I've read that is proposing a way to do board level component recovery. An interesting read....

Dear Colleagues and Friends ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Last year saw India as the highest annual E-waste Generation. E-waste should be a priority in National Agenda. Unorganised Sector is a large Segment dealing with the hazardous waste in a very haphazard and unheard Practices. VITRIMERS Recyclablity Shape Memory Flexible An advanced but the ✅ way ahead. As I 👁️👁️🧠 if this is done then Requirement for Only E-waste will be very much higher than the current Production. Bhupender Yadav JI To the best of my knowledge ONLY 5 COMPANIES IN 🌎🌍🌏 make Vitrimers with NONE in BHARAT. Thus there's an URGENT NEED for Production in Bharat if we want to Resolve the problem and have a very high Science and Technology Esteem. I-Stem I-Stem With the Current rate of digitalizion in Bharat, #sustainability of ELECTRONICS is extremely important. The subject is dealt with in detail in the shared article. Please Read. Thanks. Current Scenario ----------------------------- 🌎🌍🌏 there are 9 Companies Recycling E-waste Plastics with MBA Polymers Inc as number 1. We are the Only 1 in 🌎🌍🌏 giving E-waste Plastics Recycling #technology The number of Polymers in E-WASTE today is 14. I have shared in an earlier post, what I remember now are PC/ABS ABS PC HIPS POM Polyolefins PBT PC/PBT ABS/PMMA MBA Polymers have Recycled 6 Polymers whereas we have Recycled 12. Let's Consider only 1 Polymer PC/ABS The Polymer used in making Mobile Phones, Laptops and Tablets is Impact Modified by a Core-Shell Polymer and UV Stabilizers which deals with the A component of UV Light by RADICAL SCAVENGING. The reason most of it is ⚫ is because Carbon ⚫ deals with the B component of UV Light as UV Absorber. Along with hiding any surface defects due to MISUSE. It may please be noted that PC/ABS for this is ❌ made by blending PC and ABS BUT PC+HRG+SAN (HRG=High Rubber Graft) Compounding in a Twin Screw Extruder. This Reclaimed PC/ABS should have Proper Flowability Consistent Flowability Good Mechanical Properties Smooth Surface Reduced Notch Sensitivity Good Processing Window The grades of PC/ABS made were 1. Economy. Price=Rs 115/kg. 2. General Purpose. Price=Rs 130/kg. 3. High Flow. Price = Rs 140/kg. 4. Premium. Price=Rs 145/kg. 5. Supreme. Price = Rs 155/kg. The Supreme Grade was 80% as good as the Virgin. EACH & EVERY STATE OF BHARAT SHOULD HAVE AN E-WASTE CLUSTER Shailendra Rai Haresh K Sippy Suggest you do.

Dear Colleagues and Friends +++++++++++++++++++++++++ I have been sharing about #vitrimers since many months. Sustainable Electronics and Advanced Technology for E-waste Recycling. When I made my Technology a decade ago, refining it 5 years ago, I didn't know about Vitrimers. It's only been a year since I came to know about this Game Changing Innovation. This is biggest contribution to Polymers in the CENTURY. Regards Yogesh Motwani #vitrimers

Andreas Haimer, Managing Director and President, HAIMER Group, the market leader in #toolholding technology explains that when purchasing #newmachines, the user can significantly #reduceconsumption by paying attention to #energysaving #components. He elaborates, "In our own #production, we have learned that replacing an old machining center with a new one using the same #machiningprocess requires around 30 percent less #energy.” He adds another fundamental factor, “As a family business, we pay a lot of attention to #sustainability. For example, we source our #steel for tools from Germany, have been using electricity exclusively from #renewableenergy sources for years, and are investing in #solarenergy systems and #greeninfrastructure. In the last financial year, we invested a total of over €1 million and saved over #250tons of CO2 per year.” SUMMARY The #energyconsumption per #clampingprocess plays a negligible role compared to the issues of #lifecycle, #processreliability, and #machiningstrategy. Modern #CADCAM-optimized #milling strategies can #save 75 percent of #machiningtime. #Machinists must focus on such improved processes if they want to be #sustainable and #productive. They should select the most #suitable and #processreliable #toolholder for these strategies.” HAIMER Andreas Haimer HAIMER USA Haimer Southeast Asia and India Stefan Echle Tobias Völker #machinetools Manas Majumder Mayank Ahuja Supratim Sarkar Abhijeet Dalavi Saumya Kanta Biswal Rakesh Sharma Himanshu Sharma Loyola Francis Venu Gopal #sustainablity #clamping #metalmachining #renewableenergy #energysavings Mepax #hydraulicchuck #machiningtime k+k-PR GmbH Wolfgang Klingauf https://lnkd.in/dn2F7GSQ

Researchers at the University of Washington have developed a groundbreaking solution to the growing problem of e-waste by creating easily recyclable dissolving circuit boards. These new boards use a type of plastic known as vitrimer, which, unlike traditional materials, can be recycled repeatedly without losing performance or quality. This technology allows for the separation and reuse of components, significantly reducing environmental pollution from e-waste. The process involves heating the vitrimer to soften it, enabling the separation of materials that can be used to manufacture new circuit boards. This method not only aligns with environmental sustainability efforts but also promises cost-effectiveness due to its compatibility with existing manufacturing processes and the use of widely available chemicals.
