If #circuitboard has a few #ElectronicComponents, #hakunamatata, lesser or no consequences, BUT
...the #circuitboards with many, sophisticated #IC's or other #digitalelectronics' components, kindly always option removing the #EEPROM off from the #Motherboard, #inshaAllah, no damage happens!

Designing my first real #smd component #circuitBoards has been fun. I finally acquiesce and got a hot air rework station and a trove of basic smd components. Not leaving through-hole behind, just expanding horizons.
Time to put my #acidEtch skillz to the test. I generally do toner transfers to "Press 'n Peel Blue" I think it's called - an excellent transfer medium.

Startups are raking in up to $85,000 per day by recycling #gold and #copper from #electronics thrown in the trash — #EWaste 'gold mining' efforts are expanding
By Aaron Klotz
published January 31, 2024
The e-waste recycling boom is upon us.
"Did you know that the materials inside your old, outdated TV, laptop, desktop, and other electronic devices contain precious metals such as gold and copper? According to Business Insider, small startups are cashing in on the untapped potential of the e-waste industry, making as much as $85,000 per day #recycling old electronic #CircuitBoards. The initiatives will also likely continue to expand — worldwide, there's a projected $55-$60 billion worth of precious metals inside abandoned circuit boards just waiting to be collected.
"E-waste is quickly becoming one of the biggest #environmental #hazards affecting our world today. More than 50 million tons of electronics get tossed in the trash, with much of that garbage being sent to third-world countries (most notably #India) for recycling. It's an environmental nightmare that's projected to become substantially worse over the next decade due to our insatiable desire for new #phones, #laptops, #gaming #PCs, #TVs, and anything that requires electricity to run.
"On top of this, much of our e-waste doesn't get recycled at all, being left to rot in garages, #landfills, and city streets. The United States alone only collects about 15% of all the e-waste for recycling that its citizens create on a daily basis.
"The flip side to this situation is that e-waste is simultaneously becoming one of the most underrated 'gold mines' of the modern era, thanks to all of the valuable metals housed inside most circuit boards. Worldwide, there's a projected $55-$60 billion worth of precious metals inside abandoned circuit boards just waiting to be collected.
"Business Insider followed several scrappers and a small startup in Sydney, #Australia, to see how much income these smaller entities can make from recycling e-waste. It found that solo scrappers can't make a full-time income out of e-waste yet, but scrappers who work in larger organizations, particularly organizations / startups with access to heavy machinery, can generate some serious income.
"One such startup that Business Insider interviewed was #MintInnovation. Scrappers who find e-waste and drop it off at Mint Innovation can make as much as several thousand dollars per load. Mint Innovation has virtually mastered the art of metal extraction from e-waste, utilizing tons of special machines and a secret special sauce designed to break down electronic circuit boards and separate the valuable metals inside from unwanted plastics and other materials the metals are attached to.
"The fully automated setup Mint Innovation has built can generate an impressive $85,000 of income per day from the raw metals it collects from e-waste. That translates into about $30 million in income per year.
"Mint Innovation perfectly demonstrates the amount of potential income the e-waste industry can access right now. The problem, however, is that there is not a lot of infrastructure dedicated to e-waste processing, making it difficult for e-waste scavengers to make a livable income. That could easily change in the future, as e-waste pollution continues to rise and more entrepreneurs understand the income potential e-waste can generate.
"If you want to take a crack at recycling your own e-waste, we made a fun tutorial several years ago to teach you the basics.

J'avais projet depuis longtemps de fabriquer des bijoux avec les circuits imprimés que je récupère (et qui ne sont pas réutilisables !), et voilà la première sortie, avec la participation de @imriel (sans qui le projet aurait attendu encore un moment :D)
Dissolving circuit boards in water sounds better than shredding and burning
They're easier to recycle, and chips come right off. Will they take off?

Sending a thank you to whoever talked up our PCB rulers lately, we’ve been getting a bunch of orders thru both our website and Digi-Key! I know I’m biased, but I still think they’re some of the best tools your $15 total can buy for helping with PCB layout.
