🌱🔁 Driving CircularInnovation in Electronics

📍 Edinburgh, June 3–4 | EIPC Summer Conference 2025

We were proud to see Chris Klok from MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions , one of our valued CIRCUITS consortium partners, present our project during the opening session on Sustainability and Recycling at this year’s EIPC Summer Conference. The European Institute for the PCB Community- EIPC Services BV🧩
🎯 Chris showcased the progress of our four pilot projects, already delivering real impact:
✔️ Eco-designed electronic control units
✔️ Next-gen tire pressure sensors
✔️ Sustainable embedded circuits
✔️ AI-driven sorting and reuse of obsolete PCBs

📐 He also highlighted how material innovation plays a key role in enabling circularelectronics — from using low-temperature solder alloys  ⚡, to exploring carbon-based metallization as a sustainable alternative to copper, and testing functional inks for in-mold electronics.

🌍 Our mission? To reduce Europe’s dependence on non-EU suppliers, lower the environmental footprint of electronics manufacturing, and promote a future-ready model based on repair, reuse, and recycling. 🔄

🗣️ It’s time to rethink how electronics are made, and unmade.
What’s the biggest challenge to circular electronics in your industry?
