Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are essential for #electronics , but they present #sustainability challenges – from raw materials to waste, water, and electricity use.
At #APEXEXPO , IPC convened electronics industry experts who shared their solutions to help solve these problems while still maintaining performance and reliability.
Elise Baker from MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions shared insights on product carbon footprints in primary metallization, highlighting alternatives like graphite coatings with lower emissions while delivering equivalent or better performance. Elise also shared that OEMs are increasingly setting ambitious carbon reduction targets, driving change across the supply chain.
Maarten Cauwe from the Center for Microsystems Technology, an imec -associated research lab, shared design recommendations for PCB production to reduce water use and energy consumption, among other factors. Data is the key to impact reduction.
Stephen Driver of Jiva Materials Ltd shared his company’s quest to create recyclable and biodegradable PCBs, and the successes and failures along the way, motivating the audience to drive innovation with bold ideas and determination.
