Along with 48 other companies and research institutions covering the entire value chain, AT&S is working on the development of new technologies to make electronics production in Europe more sustainable as part of the EECONE (European ECOsystem for greeN Electronics) project.
evertiq.com/, Sept. 27, 2023 –
The EUR 35 million project is scheduled to run for three years and is funded with EUR 20 million from the European Union and the participating member states.
EECONE is a large-scale research project under the leadership of the German chip manufacturer Infineon, intended to find new ways to make the electronics industry in Europe more sustainable along the entire value chain. The objective is to minimise the use of valuable resources in the production processes by exploring better ways to recycle, repair and treat electronic components and – among other things – find alternatively usable materials. Reducing non-reusable waste and improving recycling systems is also a subject of research within the project.
