Get Engaged with Sustainable Electronics
Key Summary
• IPC and iNEMI encourage industry experts to engage in building a roadmap for sustainable electronics
• Participants can join technology integration groups and research initiatives to fill technology gaps
• Priority topics include materials efficiency, design criteria, extended reliability, and value recovery
• Collaboration helps advance sustainable innovation across the electronics lifecycle
• A short presentation with Kelly Scanlon and Mark Schaffer outlines how to get involved
The electronics industry comprises experts in design and manufacturing of some really amazing products and we want to make sure that these experts know that there are many rewarding opportunities to elevate their knowledge and drive to build electronics better.
IPC and iNEMI are calling on these experts to participate in the development of a roadmap for sustainable electronics, provide insights in a technology integration group, and advance research projects that address recognized technology gaps. You can collaborate with peers to identify gaps and then resolve them through research projects on topics such as materials efficiency, design criteria, extended reliability, and value recovery.
Join Kelly Scanlon, IPC’s director for environmental policy and research, as she talks with Mark Schaffer, iNEMI’s project manager sustainable electronics. After you watch this short presentation, you will know about the rich opportunities for you as a future participant in sustainable electronics activities at iNEMI.
The goal is to bring industry experts together to advance sustainable design and manufacturing by identifying technology gaps and collaborating on research that improves electronics across their lifecycle.
Experts can help develop a sustainability roadmap, join technology integration groups, and contribute to research projects that focus on materials efficiency, design approaches, reliability, and value recovery.
Research centers on improving materials efficiency, defining stronger design criteria, supporting extended product reliability, and strengthening value-recovery methods within electronics manufacturing.
Kelly Scanlon, IPC’s director for environmental policy and research, and Mark Schaffer, iNEMI’s project manager for sustainable electronics, explain these opportunities in a short presentation.
Engagement allows experts to shape future sustainability practices, collaborate with peers, and help address technology gaps that influence how electronics are designed, built, and recovered.
