Every year, 70 million tons of electronic waste is produced that cannot be recycled. Ergang Wang's vision is to create a sustainable cycle of organic electronics where old devices like mobile phones and computers can biodegrade into the soil and the broken-down components can be reused to manufacture new electronics.
