Aquafade is a new, fully water-soluble plastic casing for electronics that dissolves in water in about six hours, facilitating easier recycling of the internal components. It aims to tackle the growing problem of e-waste, which reached 62 million tons in 2022, according to a UN report. Aquafade can be used for various devices, from computers to LED wristbands, and could potentially be applied to other products like luggage and furniture.
