This research line is dedicated to developing new methodologies for recycling electronic components and chips. The goal is to improve efficiency and sustainability in the recycling process, but also to obtain knowledge to be used in the production and assembly of chip-based devices. This involves exploring innovative techniques to extract valuable materials from electronic waste and enhance lifecycle management. The ultimate aim is to advance recycling practices, reduce electronic waste, and contribute to more sustainable electronic manufacturing and disposal.
