Circuits in Plastic


Slashdot

DanS writes "Computerworld has an article about two Australianengineers who have invented 'Circuits inPlastic' technology. CIP designs aim to be moreenvironmentally friendly than traditional circuits as they can bemade from recycled plastic, don't contain any hazardous substances,and since packaging is part of the base circuit board, there is noneed for additional packaging material. As an added bonus,different 3D shaped circuits can be made using CIP, which are alsowaterproof. No more ruining cell phones by getting them wet! Thehope is that the technology will reduce the amount of toxicelectronic waste in landfills, as even with lead-free technology,etching of existing printed circuit boards (and disposal of thechemicals) is a significant issue during manufacturing."
