certain electronic wasteGood News Network

ETH Zurich scientists have developed a way to dramatically reduce the cost of recycling certain electronic waste by using whey protein.
Their method allows for the easy recovery of gold from circuit boards at a cost of energy and materials amounting to 50 times less than the price of the gold they recover.
E-waste is a growing burden in global landfills, and recycling it requires extremely energy-intensive machinery that many recycling facilities do not possess.
