By Kelly Scanlon, Lead Sustainability Strategist, Global Electronics Association

Sustainability in electronics isn't theoretical anymore. Companies are being asked for product carbon footprints, greenhouse gas data, materials disclosures, and supply chain transparency often without clear guidance on how to deliver it.

That's why the sustainability programming at APEX EXPO 2026 is worth your attention and attendance, even if sustainability isn't in your job title.

Professional Development: Carbon Accounting Fundamentals

APEX EXPO offers hands-on courses on greenhouse gas accounting and calculations, including new industry guidance document and information about the forthcoming standard IPC-1783-CO₂e. These sessions are valuable for teams that need to explain how they calculate their numbers. 

If Scope 3 emissions feel unclear, these sessions can help.

Technical Sessions: Sustainability Meets Engineering Reality

Wednesday, March 28, includes four presentations focused on materials tradeoffs, manufacturing considerations, data credibility, and cross-functional alignment.

This is where you'll hear how others are navigating the same challenges you're facing.

On the Show Floor: Solutions in Action

Sustainability runs through the show floor, from additive and printed electronics to recycling, ESG reporting tools, and lifecycle software. The Learning Lounge and the Design Village and Technology Pavilion connect sustainability to design and manufacturing decisions, showing how early choices affect and improve carbon impact, compliance, and cost.

Why it Matters

Sustainability expectations are high for the electronics industry. APEX EXPO 2026 is where the industry works through shared methods, tools, and approaches. Being part of those conversations now means you're better positioned to respond as requirements evolve.
