Our living spaces are gradually being consumed by 3C electronic waste. Although recycling 3C electronic waste seems like a solution, the waste circuit boards produced in the process are difficult to manage. They contain PCB glass fiber powder, which includes brominated flame retardants and heavy metals. If incinerated, they release toxic gases; if landfilled, they wasteland resources and pollute groundwater, as they do not decompose effectively. According to statistics, nearly 40% of waste PCB glass fiber powder in Taiwan is stored long-term in recycling plants. As more landfills close, companies will face rising disposal costs.
SDTI’s 20-Year Journey in Electronic Waste Recycling
As early as 2001, SDTI actively began researching the recycling of electronic waste into eco-friendly materials. After more than 20 years of effort, in 2023, SDTI collaborated with TAIPEI TECH, obtaining an exclusive patent license and achieving a breakthrough in the technology of recycling glass fiber powder.
