With increasing the sustainability awareness, the goods that ends up with generating hazardous waste in dumps and landfills, are more discussed environmentally, socially, and economically. Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), which form the basis of the high quality electronics product, are complicated to be produced due to the diversity of materials and components, and technologically waste of hazardous disposal due to the difficulty of a concrete recycling process. Thus, a sustainable life cycle of printed circuit boards requires a definite highlight of the material selection legislation, environmental burdens of the manufacturing process, and disposing and recycling process.This article presents an overview on sustainability issues with Lean paradigm perspective in PCB assembly and resource consumption showing their structure and materials, legislation issues on material and production, and the alternative solutions for the recent green innovations and production of PCBs.
