ABSTRACT
Green electronics focuses on elimination of harmful chemicals, elements and
components, recycling of electronic product at the end .The ultimate goal of
this concept is to create paths for the production of human and eco-friendly
electronics . It explores the intersection of electronics and sustainability,
addressing the critical issues like energy efficiency, recyclability, and
reduced impact on environment during electronic device production .
3
INTRODUCTION
• The term Green Electronics is the combination of two words that

is, Green + Electronics, where the word green demonstrates eco-
friendly.
• Certain materials in electronic goods and products are toxic and

harmful to the nature and human especially.
4
INTRODUCTION
• Electronics that are designed to have low or no adverse impact on
the environment are considered to be green electronics.
• Among the harmful substances are :- Lead, Cadmium, Mercury,

PDBE and many others.
• This concept aims to restrict the use of other harmful materials for
the manufacturing of electronic devices.
5
EXPLANATION
• Green electronics are the devices that are
manufactured using less harmful and
eco-friendly materials.
• The main aim of this concept is to use
the components that are recycled which
intern reduces the production of E-waste.
• Electronic waste describes the discarded
part of electronic device that are destined
for refurbishment and reuse. 6

EXPLANATION
• Disposal of E-waste
• It can be done in three ways :-
Incineration:- Incineration basically entails to destroying the e-

waste including computers and other electronic devices and
components by burning.
Land filling:- Landfilling involves disposing the e-waste by

burning it, especially as a method of filling in and reclaiming
excavated pits.
Recycling :- It simply removes the hazards into secondary

products that eventually have to be disposed off. 7
EXPLANATION
WHY “LEAD” IN ELECTRONICS ?
• About 90% of all Electronic goods and products are made up of
LEAD.
• Many of the electronic components are highly toxic. Toxic

materials and their emissions contaminate the air and water
resources.
• Semiconductors are the basis of all the electronic components and

lead is the glue that binds all the semiconductor devices to make
them work efficiently .
8
EXPLANATION
• The soldering process that is used to manufacture the electronics
devices are almost made up of LEAD, because it can be re-molded
and refined easily.
• LEAD is a toxic material which contaminates the

environment ,hence it cannot be decomposed in nature.
9
EXPLANATION
• Therefore the alternative used instead of LEAD in green
electronics technology is : * Transparent electronics
* Paper electronics
• Transparent electronics is combining optical transparency with

electrical conductivity.
10
EXPLANATION
• Paper electronics is another type of green technology in which
cellulose is used in the manufacture of semiconductor ,which is
biodegradable and hence is not harmful .
• The structure of the cellulose resembles exactly the same structure of

the wire, which is used for providing connections to the devices.
• The materials used in this technology are namely Borosilicate glass,

Graphene, Aluminium, Biomaterials. 11
APPLICATIONS
The Green electronics and Green technology has various
applications in day to day life they are,
• Smart phones and telephones
• Smart watches and cameras
• It is used in production of energy from the solar panels .
• It also facilitates a transition from conventional to environment

friendly electronics.
12
ADVANTAGES
• It will help slow down the issue of global warming.
• It will reduce pollution.
• It may save our natural resources
• It offers more job and business opportunities
• It is an eco-friendly technique
13
DISADVANTAGES
• Initial costs are high because implementing new technology can be

expensive .
• The Green products are expensive .
• The lack of knowledge amongst the public which causes lack of

consumer acceptance .
14
CONCLUSION
Although challenges remain, the recent achievements in organic

electronic devices make us believe that green electronic devices are
viable and will drive the future consumer electronics market in
accordance with sustainable development goals . Organic electronic
materials will not replace silicon-based electronics; however, they
will support the need-based usage of electronic devices making
consumer electronics more functional, accessible, and sustainable.
