<ul><li>Researchers from the University of Washington have developed vitrimer printed circuit boards (vPCBs) that can be recycled multiple times without losing quality.</li><li>These vPCBs use a special type of polymer that can be transformed into a jelly-like substance, making it easy to remove and reuse the solid components.</li><li>The ability of the polymers to detach and reattach allows for reshaping and repair of damaged circuit boards.</li><li>Recycling these vPCBs could reduce global warming impact by 48% and carcinogenic emissions by 81% compared to traditional circuit boards.</li></ul>
