The sponsor of this challenge is not identified.<\/p>\n<p>The challenge seeks ideas and concepts that can lead to a &#8220;molecular bill of materials&#8221; for electronic products and components. Understanding the chemical make-up of electronic devices is important for the users&#8217; safety and understanding the environmental costs of manufacturing, recycling, and disposal of those devices. Lack of information on specific materials metals, resins, and hazardous compounds is considered a barrier to efficient recycling or reuse.<\/p>\n<p>The sponsor will review all submissions. All participants that submit a proposal will be notified on the status of their submissions, but no detailed evaluation of individual submissions will be provided.<\/p>\n<p>The challenge&#8217;s total prize fund is $8,000, with one entry receiving at least $5,000, and no awards less than $1,000. Participants are not required to transfer exclusive intellectual property rights to the sponsor.\u00a0 By submitting a proposal, however, participants grant to the sponsor a royalty-free, perpetual, and non-exclusive license to use any information included in their proposals.<\/p>\n<p>Read more:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/sciencebusiness.technewslit.com\/?p=8078\">Challenge Seeks Sustainable Material Substitute for Wood<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new challenge from InnoCentive calls for a technology to determine the chemical composition of everyday electronic devices.
