Copper
💡 Explanation:
Printed Circuit boards (PCB), also known as green boards are designed specifically to support and facilitate the connection of electronic components. PCB can be recycled. PCBs can be shredded,
dismantled, and processed so that valuable precious metals and other
materials are separated from other low-value materials.the copper part of the board is totally recyclable as a metallic material. Recycling PCB help reduce depletion of natural resources i.e. copper.
