The work of the Sustainable Electronics Working Group continues to progress. In previous meetings, we have already been able to identify topics and, based on these, use cases that are of particular importance to our network (see overview below).

In order to continue and deepen the topic, we cordially invite you to our Session of the second quarter on June 19, 2024. We will work on these topics in a 3-hour online event with the help of a concept board and with discussions in small groups and in plenary.

Contribute your expertise and the needs of your company / organization and network with other experts from the industry.

Overview of the topics:

  1. Circular business models, circular value chain and circular economy
  2. Design for Reusability

  • Sustainable substrate materials
  • Use of recycl. Solder material
  • ...

Clustering B

  • Separability of electronic assemblies at end of life
  • Removability, modularity, separability: Avoiding sensors ending up in waste recycling
  • Repairability - Modular approach also potentially enables reuse of entire assemblies
  • ...

Clustering C
