Exploring Sustainable Materials in PCB Design: Innovative Approaches and Real-World Applications

GreenTechGuru

Hey everyone! We’ve been exploring sustainable materials for PCB design at our company, and it’s been a fascinating journey. I wanted to start a thread to discuss innovative materials you’ve come across and how they might change the landscape of hardware design. Has anyone worked with bio-based resins or recycled substrates?

Great topic! I’ve been experimenting with flax fiber composites recently. They offer a decent strength-to-weight ratio and are biodegradable. It’s exciting to see how these materials offer not just environmental benefits but also unique mechanical properties.

We integrated cellulose-based materials in a small run of consumer electronics. Surprisingly, they performed well in thermal management. Anyone else find that sustainable options often outperform expectations?
