Only 12.5% of e-waste is currently recycled. Many electronic sensor s and devices are made using Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs)\, which consist of metallic and dielectric parts. For the conductive parts\, mostly coppe r\, silver\, and gold are used\, which are recyclable. The dielectric part \, however\, is harder to recycle. Most of the non-metal waste of printed circuit boards is therefore treated as landfill (76%-94%). Despite the cha llenges in recycling PCBs\, we see an enormous increase in the usage of el ectronics\, such as wireless sensors and antennas. These sensors and anten nas may be used for applications in the environment and agriculture (such as forest fire detection\, greenhouse monitoring\, landslide detection\, l eakage monitoring\, pollution monitoring\, temperature detection\, biohaza rdous material detection)\, water management\, biomedical vital signal mon itoring and sensing\, biomedical implants\, smart homes\, and structural h ealth monitoring. The growing number of wireless sensors poses the challen ge of using recyclable and sustainable materials for the dielectric part o f antennas. Another challenge is the design of non-conventional radio freq uency (RF) devices with miniaturized size while working in environments su ch as human or animal bodies. In this talk\, an overview of some wearable and implanted antenna designs using bio-friendly materials\, such as texti les\, paper\, and PLA\, will be given. The design challenges and considera tions will be reviewed.\n\nCo-sponsored by: AGH University of Krakow\, Pol and\n\nSpeaker(s): Sima Noghanian\, \n\nRoom: 106\, Bldg: D-5\, Mickiewicz a 30 Av.\, Krakow\, Malopolskie\, Poland\, 31-875\, Virtual: https://event s.vtools.ieee.org/m/572355 LOCATION:Room: 106\, Bldg: D-5\, Mickiewicza 30 Av.\, Krakow\, Malopolskie\ , Poland\, 31-875\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/572355 ORGANIZER:jakub.sorocki@agh.edu.pl SEQUENCE:45 SUMMARY:IEEE Poland AP/AES/MTT Joint Chapter - AP-S DL Talk by prof.
