Your project facilitates recycling of material that would otherwise end up in the waste stream. 

Recycling makes a whole lot of sense, but too often there are obstacles in the way of ensuring that typical materials are reused and repurposed. For this challenge, we are asking you to create new ways to recycle materials. Whether it’s harvesting valuable chips from PCBs, or extracting materials that could be used in other projects, the approach you choose is completely up to you!

This could look like: 

• Systems for depopulating PCBs and harvesting the most useful chips
• Tools to extract the gold from PCBs
• Shredders, heat presses, etc. that turn used plastic into millable blocks
