AIM: Advancing Sustainability and Circularity in the European Electronics Industry

The CIRC-UITS project aims to strengthen sustainability and circularity within the European electronic components industry, supporting the transition toward greener, more efficient production systems.

The project focuses on several key areas:

  • Eco-design: integrating environmental considerations into every stage of product development.

  • Manufacturing of green ECUs (Electronic Control Units): reducing energy use and material impact in vehicle electronics.

  • Next-generation tyre sensors: creating intelligent, energy-efficient components for smarter mobility.

  • Green IME (In-Mould Electronics): advancing sustainable manufacturing technologies.

  • Sorting of obsolete PCBs: promoting recycling and recovery of valuable materials from outdated electronics.

Through these actions, CIRC-UITS contributes to the European Union’s broader goals of resource efficiency, digital innovation, and industrial resilience, helping to build a more sustainable future for the electronics sector.
