CompoDry – Demontage durch Kompostierung
- The lifetime of small electrical devices is still short and the process of recycling the components is not worthwhile. Improving the recycling-process of electronic devices.
- Two principles were pursued here: Firstly, as many non-electrical components as possible should be compostable. Secondly, electrical parts and components made of different metals should be separated through a rotting process so that they can be reused or collected by type.
- This work explores the use of compostable materials in small electrical devices and tries to answer the question:
what if, at the end of a biodegradation process, only components made of recyclable materials remained that could be reused or collected separately. - Mycel is ideal for printed circuits boards because it is electrically insulating, heat-resistant up to 250°C.
