Plastics are used in numerous electrical and electronic products that help make our lives easier and more productive. Plastics provide a balance of performance characteristics that no other class of materials can match. They play an integral part in weight reduction and part miniaturization. Many different types of additives are used in plastics to improve property performance, aid in processing,...
Wastes from electrical and electronic equipment are the fastest growing waste category. In order to reclaim most of this waste, it is important to consider environmental, safety and health issues of products end-of-life phase as early as in the design phase. Maximum advantage is gained when these issues are already considered while new technology, such as printed electronics, is under development...
Previous studies on environmental impacts embodied in trade have paid little attention on the impacts of labor, or environmental overhead of labor (EOL). In particular, EOL can occur in both the household consumption of fuels and electricity by workers and in the delivery of products and services consumed by workers. This research defines EOL and quantifies energy and carbon dioxide (CO2) EOL embodied...
Microbiological processes were applied to mobilize metals from printed wire boards. Acidithiobacillusferrooxidans isolated from a acidic mine drainage was grown and acclimated in the presence of printed wire boards and then used as bioleaching bacteria to solubilize metals from scraps of printed wire boards. Two Face Copper Clad Laminate (TFCCL), TFCCL with green non-conductive coating and actual...
