As a result, the amount of electronic waste is also set to rise massively. In fact, in the last 16 years, the amount of electronic waste has nearly doubled. Shockingly, only 20% of waste is collected efficiently.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Due to this staggering waste, the EU is calling for more sustainable solutions from the electronics industry.

As well as this, energy consumption may reduce to one fifth in comparison to traditional processes. Meanwhile, ecodesign<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">,<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> stimulates the efficient use, recycling, and recovery of precious materials.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">VTT has flexible knowledge in all<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> of<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> these areas and can offer wide-ranging information in both electronics development and sustainable materials.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In the ECOtronics project funded by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessfinland.fi\/en\">Business Finland<\/a>, this expertise has come together to evaluate the environmental load of electronics and to create sustainable solutions and establish their viability.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThe environmental impact of electronics is caused by, among other things, the used raw materials and manufacturing processes and the use, recycling and post-treatment of products. The environmental load must be examined on a case-by-case basis throughout the life cycle of the product so that the right route to reduce it may be found,\u201d explained Lisa Hakola, the leader of the ECOtronics project at VTT.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Practical solutions<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">VTT and the university partners have examined the practicability of novel sustainable solutions through demo cases. The subject of one demo was a smart label printed on bio-based plastic, which is fuelled by a supercapacitor rechargeable with solar panels, even indoors. The label can be included as a part of the product packaging and can be utilised for all sorts of things including the transport conditions of food and medicines or other heat-sensitive products.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The solution is also appropriate for observing various spaces and for examining moisture, pressure or damage sustained by products. Another demo case involved a biodegradable antenna connected to a circuit board, which can be utilised for all sorts of purposes such as the wireless transfer of measurement data.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">One of the many benefits of bio-based materials is that their properties can be altered in a variety of ways, which allows entirely new applications.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cFor example, a smart label is light, thin and flexible. It is suitable for, among other things, wearable electronics for which traditional heavy, thick and rigid circuit boards are not suitable. We will continue to explore these opportunities,\u201d said Maria Smolander, Research Team Leader at VTT.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Meeting industry needs<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.innovationnewsnetwork.com\/european-piloting-centre-launched-by-vtt-for-clean-energy-innovations\/17239\/\">VTT<\/a> assists businesses in the electronics industry<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> to<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> discover novel solutions for sustainable electronics. Eight companies interested in sustainable electronics took part in the ECOtronics project.

The significance of the environmental load was also assessed by comparing it with examples from everyday life, such as one litre of milk. In this comparison, the product concept&#8217;s performance was excellent,\u201d concluded Juha Virtanen, Hardware Project Leader, GE Healthcare.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland are developing sustainable electronics with novel printing methods and bio-based materials.\u00a0 Scientists have predicted that by 2050, the amount of electronics produced will rise exponentially, and the use of raw materials in the sector is anticipated to double.
