Chicken Electronics: A Technology Plucked from Waste--Tiffany Sanders


Thanks to the Richard Wool of the University of Delaware, he has found a way to use the feathers from chickens to make feed for other animals. This feed would be a lower grade quality feed but the feathers would need to require water and energy to make. Wool’s solution to the overwhelming amount of wasted feathers is to have collaboration with poultry giant Tyson Foods to explore manufacture of another resource-depleting necessity—the circuit board—using chicken feathers. The idea is to have a renewable resource and not to use or depend on other resources as much since the feather are wasted it would not hurt anything to make them into feed i think.
