Revolutionary Leaf-Based Circuit Boards Offer Sustainable Solution to E-Waste

Researchers have unveiled a groundbreaking method to create circuit boards from tree leaves, a sustainable alternative to traditional printed circuit boards (PCBs). This innovative approach, known as ‘leaftronics,’ aims to combat the growing electronic waste crisis, which reached 62 million tons in 2022. By utilizing the natural strength of leaves, this technology offers a biodegradable solution that could revolutionize the electronics industry and promote eco-friendly practices.
