Electronic waste is a growing global issue, with challenges in recycling leading to environmental and health risks from toxic chemicals. Without intervention, electronic waste could reach 90 million tons annually by 2030. However, a team at the University of Washington has developed a recyclable material to replace traditional circuit boards, offering flexibility, self-healing, and conductivity. This innovation has the potential to create more sustainable wearable electronics and soft robotics, providing a promising solution to the electronic waste problem.
