    Seems more about salvage of what’s on the board:

    […] the process makes it easier to retrieve the valuable metals attached to it. “After [it dissolves], we’re left with the chips and circuit traces which we can filter out,”

    If it’s easier to salvage, maybe more salvaging will be done than dumping.
