November 2022 Paperless Industry News Roundup Story #3: Biodegradable Computer Chips

A team from State University of New York (SUNY) at Binghamton recently developed a circuit board made of a sheet paper that includes fully integrated electrical components but can be burned or left to biodegrade after use. This environmentally friendly technology development can help to create consumer devices that are more environmentally friendly but also can provide environmentally friendly disposability for the emerging field of single-use electronics.
