DESIRE4EU aims at proving the concept of a radically new sustainable approach to produce, use, and recycle electronic printed circuit boards (PCB), that combines technical performance, economic and ecological efficiency throughout their life cycle.
The project targets sustainable, circular PCB manufactured in Europe using bio-based and biodegradable materials.

DESIRE4EU aims at disrupting the electronics ecosystem by the design of fully circular reliable bio-based electronic boards without affecting their performance.
Our vision is to make the European sustainable electronics goal achievable in everyday life, being able to provide the market by 2030 with environmentally friendly, industrially credible bio-based rigid PCB with their innovative design and recycling process.
DESIRE4EU aims to develop (TRL 1-4) an ambitious alternative, innovative and low-cost technology of bio-based substrates, increasing CM recycling using low-energy and low-pollution innovative bioleaching processes.
DESIRE4EU disrupts current paradigms and significantly reduces harmful waste, enabling fast and ecological copper recovery.
