Copprint https://copprint.com/ claims that the future of printed electronics is copper. Copprint is the leader in conductive Nano copper inks for additive copper printing. We are ushering in a new era of printed electronics, empowering ubiquitous conductivity. Their rapid self-sintering, oxidation free Nano Copper Inks enable very-low cost, high conductivity, environmentally friendly printed electronics embedded everywhere.
Copprint breakthrough Nano Copper inks outperform silver inks and etched Copper or Aluminum, bringing the advantages of additive manufacturing to printed electronics Copprint’s product portfolio offers full substrate freedom for really simple printed electronic fabrication on paper, PET, PI, HJT PV.
Conductive Copper inks are finally available. Just print and sinter for 2 sec to achieve up to 50% bulk conductivity. The new inks allow low-temperature sintering under air and do not require any special equipment like photonic or laser sintering. Made out of Copper nanoparticles – it is much cheaper than silver inks and environmentally friendly and compatible with standard printing equipment.

Smooth & Sharp Corporation http://www.sns.com.tw/en/index.php/ Eco friendly, sustainable Direct on Paper RFID Tag and FHE products, Why paper, because the conventional RFID tag contains plastic foil,
Why printed antenna, because traditional RFID antenna is made with Wet Chemical Etching process, which is very polluted.
Simplified structure in RFID tag, one adhesive layer and one process less. Also Print on Demand process, saved material and process cost versus traditional chemical etching process and more.
