Green Electronics - cellulose as an alternative to plastic

With the rapid innovation in technology and ever-shorter lifespans of the products, electronic waste has led to an environmental crisis of epic proportions. The search for solutions is on and scientists claim the answer may lie in a plant-based material. The Swiss Federal Laboratories for Material Sciences in Zurich have developed a wood-derived cellulose which is an alternative to traditional plastics and polymers. RAZOR’s Dr Shini Somara investigates how this innovative substance is created before it is put into 3D printers.
