Circular Electronics: Circular by design, enabled by technology
Webinar: Technologies for a Circular Electronics Industry
Register now for the second webinar in the „Tech and Spaces for Circular Economy“ series!
The electronics industry is facing a major challenge: E-waste is the fastest-growing waste stream in Europe. According to the Global E-Waste Monitor 2024, the world generated 62 billion kg of electronic waste in 2022 alone — and the trend continues to rise. But how can technology help transition the electronics sector from a linear „take-make-dispose“ model to a circular value chain?
What to Expect:
In this session, experts will discuss how advancements in optics, photonics, and materials science can contribute to more sustainable electronic products:
Development of materials and processes for circular electronics design
Application of optical and photonic systems to extend product life or enable material recovery
Moderator:
Remi Laoubi, Electronics Lead at Circular Berlin
