Reply to comment by KiwasiGames in Solvents made from plants could replace the petroleum-derived solvents used today in organic solar cells and transistors. Compounds derived from eucalyptus and other plants are formulated into an ink for printing electronic components. by MistWeaver80

Pests become a factor as well. A lot of automobile manufacturers switched to plant based wiring insulation, and now mice and other rodents are known to destroy the wiring because of the materials being food essentially. I'm not pro petroleum by any means, but stuff like this seems to get overlooked until it's a big problem.

As an automotive repair shop owner, I hate this new wiring. Mice climb into spaces that we can't reach and chew up wires.
