How Can We Reduce E-Waste?
2025-11-28
Electronic waste, or e-waste, is one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world. Each year, approximately 66 million tonnes of electronic products reach the end of their life —
The CIRC-UITS project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme, aims to enhance sustainability and circularity in the European electronic components industry, particularly within the automotive and mass electronics sectors. Through four targeted pilot projects, the initiative seeks to demonstrate the practical benefits of reusing and remanufacturing semiconductors and electronic components.
- Pilot 1: Eco-design and manufacturing of green ECUs
- Pilot 2: Eco-design and manufacturing of next-gen tyre sensors
- Pilot 3: Eco-design and manufacturing of green IME
- Pilot 4: Obsolete PCBs sorting
The CIRC-UITS project organized the webinar “How can Digital Tools enable Circular Economy?”
