2020 iNEMI Sustainable Electronics Technical Plan (members only)
Webinar Presentation (with link to audio recording): Sustainable Electronics Roadmap: Gap Analysis & Potential Projects; February 19, 2020 (members only)
Environmental issues have been at the forefront in the electronics manufacturing industry for more than a decade, and iNEMI has played a leadership role in helping the industry make significant transitions, first with lead-free and then with halogen-free. Our proactive, member-driven environmental projects focus on closing technology gaps while attacking problems with scientific depth and rigor to develop solutions that are both far-reaching and sustainable. Our goal is to provide low-cost electronic assembly processes that encompass environmental attributes and meet current and future regulations.
