Abstract
The use of printed circuit boards (PCBs) has increased rapidly in recent years due to the growth of the electronics industry. However, the fabrication and disposal of traditional PCBs pose significant environmental concerns. In response, there has been a surge in research on green electronics, and one promising solution is the development of future paper-based PCBs (P-PCBs). In this paper, we describe the fabrication and characterization of a P-PCB prototype and conduct a life cycle assessment (LCA) of its environmental impact. Our results demonstrate that P-PCBs have lower environmental impacts compared to traditional PCBs and could provide a sustainable alternative for the electronics industry.
