Abstract
This paper presents cradle to grave life cycle assessment of printed electronics resources. In this work, an attempt has been made to investigate and evaluate the life cycle assessment and environmental impacts of printed electronics resources such as polymer substrate-printed RFID antenna. Life cycle inventory analysis for these resources has been carried out to quantify total systems´ inputs and outputs that are relevant to the environmental impacts especially emissions to air, fresh water, industrial soil and sea water.
