EECONE - An European research project on sustainable electronics

22 September 2023, 11:53

The objective of the project is to investigate the corresponding technologies along the entire value chain, from design, manufacture and use all the way to recycling. EECONE is one of the Key Digital Technologies research projects supported by the European Union as a Joint Undertaking. 49 partners are participating in the project, which has a volume of approximately 35 million euros total costs. The project is being funded by the European Union and the national governments of the participating companies with around 20 million euros.

"Electronics are fundamental to improving the sustainability of many applications. But this is not sufficient, electronics themselves have to become greener," says Constanze Hufenbecher, Infineon Management Board member and Chief Digital Transformation Officer. 

EECONE is aligned with the 6R concept (Reduce, Reliability, Repair, Reuse, Refurbish, Recycle); the amount of materials required by electronics is to be reduced, electronics are to be made more reliable, easier to fix and use again, and easier to recondition and to recycle. The project will investigate a total of ten application examples from the widest possible variety of fields in terms of developing green electronics. The applications are from the areas Automotive, Consumer Electronics, Health, Information and Communication Technologies, Aviation and Agriculture. 

RISE is leading subactivity 4.3 on the second life of electronics as well as a use case to look at the decision of digital hardware refresh and reuse. The WP3 is bringing the LCA tools that we anticipate to combine with good data to help data centres make informed choices about their digital hardware.
