Sustainability in Printed Electronics The climate crisis demands sustainable solutions. Printed electronics offers a promising path towards a more environmentally friendly future. Key benefits: # Energy efficiency: Printed electronics production processes are far more energy-efficient than traditional methods. # Reduced waste: Additive manufacturing minimizes material waste and simplifies recycling. # Sustainable materials: Printed electronics often uses organic and non-hazardous materials. # Lightweight products: Printed electronics products are typically lighter, saving on materials and transportation costs. What industry experts say: "Circular economy can only be achieved if you have materials that you can separate from each other." – Dr. Norman Goldberg, CEO, tesa SE "Printed electronics can contribute to lower material waste, lower energy usage." – [TAG] Erika Rebrosova, Global Technology Manager, Sun Chemical "LOPEC is one of the most important events for the printed electronics community." – Michael Stromann, Head of Business Development, tesa SE Join us at #LOPEC to discover how #PrintedElectronics is driving innovation in sustainable products for mobility, smart living, and more!
