iNEMI and IPC are collaborating to identify and address key circularity challenges in electronics manufacturing. This initiative gained momentum following a successful workshop at the Electronics Goes Green (EGG) 2024 conference in Berlin, setting the stage for a series of focused efforts to tackle the industry's most pressing circularity issues. As a direct result of these industry discussions, four discussion groups are launching in September.

The Expertise and Education Work Group will focus on identifying knowledge gaps and developing educational resources to support effective implementation of circularity principles. If you want to get involved with this or any of the working groups, please contact Mark Schaffer at iNEMI (marks@inemi.org) or Kelly Scanlon at IPC (kellyscanlon@ipc.org).
