Sustainable and green electronics for circular economy

Sustronics main goal is to support renewal of European electronics industry towards circular economy, eco-design, bio-based materials, and material- and energy-efficient manufacturing processes. Thereby, Sustronics will re-design electronics products into circular, compostable and reusable products, and demonstrate that there are business opportunities in sustainable electronics. Quantification of environmental impact, definition of business models, involvement of external stakeholders, and means to guarantee compatibility with policies and standards will guide the project implementation. The pilots will focus on healthcare, diagnostics, and industrial sectors, including topics such as medical and personal health devices, single-use and wearable diagnostics, sustainable lighting solutions and embedded electronics for automotive. Politechnika Gdanska will be responsible for developing, in collaboration with international partners, advanced electronic systems, especially wireless communication interfaces that are energy efficient and reusable. The expected outcomes of the project include: articles in scientific journals with a high IF index, know-how that will potentially be commercialized in the form of selling licenses to companies participating in the project, and new international collaboration. Gdansk University of Technology will lead the tasks planned in WP 5, which include dissemination, utilization, standardization of the solutions developed in the project, and building a community around the ideas related to the project and the field of research within which the project is implemented.
