{"id":27,"asset_id":"726","title":"ReFactor FR4","alias":"refactor-fr4","introtext":"<p>FR4 non-metallic fibre is the remaining fraction separated from circuit boards obtained, in most part, from the pulverisation of computer circuit boards for the recovery of base and precious metals. These fractions account for an average of 70% of the total amount of material processed when reclaiming metals from circuit board waste.\u00a0 Although the number is discounted when applied to the overall WEEE breakdown, the percentage of non-metallic fractions currently being sent to landfill would still account for over 15% of most small appliance recycling.<\/p>\r\n<p>Looking at one computer, by weight or one cellphone by weight, these numbers drastically increase with no current viable, or large scale solution to produce any product from these fractions that has the ability to compete in the overall market.<\/p>\r\n<p>Our goal is to look at current potential solutions, through in-house testing, to obtain new and useful products from these fractions.\u00a0 Mainly in the area of filler material and insulative material as well as industrial binders and insulation barriers as the fibre-glass content of over 50% makes these materials very attractive insulators.<\/p>\r\n<p>Our challenges for this material are the proper separation and segregation between new circuit boards being processed that contain no bromine from\u00a0older NMF which are high in toxic bromine.<\/p>\r\n<h4>\u00a0<\/h4>\r\n<h1>Your Help Secures An Amazing Gift<\/h1>\r\n<p>Choose one of the gifts below for your donation to the ReClaim project of $100,000 or more.
