ADESSO ADVANCED MATERIALS ANNOUNCES NATURE PORTFOLIO PUBLICATION DETAILING BREAKTHROUGH RECYCLABLE COPPER CLAD LAMINATE TECHNOLOGY FOR GREEN ELECTRONICS WITH INDUSTRY GIANTS SYTECH AND LENOVO CRANBURY, NJ — August 21, 2026 — Adesso Advanced Materials, a global pioneer in sustainable macromolecular chemistry, highlighted the peer-reviewed publication of its revolutionary recyclable Copper Clad Laminate (CCL) technology in Communications Chemistry , a prestigious journal within the Nature Portfolio . The landmark paper—titled "Recyclable glass fiber-reinforced epoxy copper clad laminates for printed circuit board" —is officially featured in Volume 9 (2026) of the journal following its publication on June 26, 2026 . The study details a major material science milestone: the development of high-performance, fully degradable thermoset substrates designed to eliminate electronic waste (e-waste) from the global printed circuit board (PCB) supply chain without compromising operational performance. Copper Clad Laminates (CCLs) serve as the foundational structural material for nearly all modern electronics. However, because conventional CCLs rely on permanently cross-linked epoxy resins, end-of-life electronics have historically been impossible to recycle efficiently. Research published by Adesso Advanced Materials introduces a paradigm shift through the use of proprietary, cleavable polymer networks. Under mild chemical conditions, this cross-linked matrix degrades, allowing manufacturers to reclaim and reuse premium metallic and non-metallic components within the printed circuit board (PCB) industry. "Having our work peer-reviewed and published in Volume 9 of Communications Chemistry is a powerful validation of Adesso's scientific foundations," said Dr. Bo Liang, Co-Founder & Chairman of Adesso Advanced Materials . "By proving that reliable copper clad laminates can be completely disassembled and recycled chemically under mild conditions, we are providing the electronics industry with a viable, scalable path toward true circularity and green manufacturing." The commercial realization of this technology relies heavily on close cross-industry collaboration spanning from material suppliers to consumer device manufacturers. As a primary co-development partner and a premier global producer of printed circuit board substrates, SYTECH provided critical recyclable CCL development and manufacturing validation for the technology. "Validating a recyclable substrate that meets rigorous industry specifications while seamlessly integrating into existing mass-production workflows has been a monumental achievement," said Mr. Zhongqiang Yang, Tech Expert at SYTECH . "Adesso’s resin chemistry allows us to offer our partners a truly circular substrate that satisfies stringent electrical, thermal, and moisture resistance requirements. This technology directly supports our corporate commitment to delivering eco-friendly, next-generation laminates to the global marketplace." From the end-user consumer hardware perspective, Lenovo , a global technology powerhouse, views this material science breakthrough as a vital mechanism for achieving widespread electronics circularity and e-waste reduction across global hardware supply chains. "E-waste represents one of the fastest-growing environmental challenges facing the technology sector, and solving it requires innovation at the fundamental molecular level," said Mr. Calvin Zhou at Lenovo . "Adesso's breakthrough in fully degradable copper clad laminates opens up unprecedented possibilities for hardware design. Implementing these smart polymer matrices into high-volume consumer hardware lines will allow device OEMs to completely rethink a product's lifecycle—enabling us to recapture precious raw components cleanly and move closer to an absolute zero-waste manufacturing loop."
