Eco-design and electronics seminar (2022)

Seminar: Eco-design and electronics
Electronic designers have a major role to play in reducing the environmental impact of products, through the choices they make beforehand. The seminar will look at the various ways in which electronics can integrate eco-design technologies and processes.
Stakeholders in the electronics sector are aware of the eco-design approach due to regulatory constraints such as the directive on the recycling of waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), or the European directive on the Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) which regulates the presence of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
Two main themes will be addressed:
- Design: economy and optimisation technologies (demonstrations by CRESITT Industrie), consideration of life cycle analysis in electronics, feedback on RF design, etc.
- The manufacturing process: integration of recycled materials, board repair, recycling of materials used in electronics, etc.
