Dublin, Jan. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Market for Sustainable Electronics and Semiconductor Manufacturing 2025-2035" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The volume of electronics will continues to increase and the use of raw materials in the sector is expected to double by 2050. The amount of electronic waste has also almost doubled over the two decades and it is estimated that only 20% of this waste is collected efficiently. With over 55 million tonnes of electronic waste produced every year, the risk of harm to human and animal health as well as the environment is substantial.
There is also considerable value squandered in discarded electronics. It is estimated that $60 billion worth of raw materials are lost every year as precious metals and re-useable materials are disposed of in landfill or incinerated. The use of plastics in electronics devices has significant environmental issues owing to poor biodegradability and additional cost for disposal after use. It is therefore essential to find an eco-friendly and biodegradable substrate.
Sustainable electronics and semiconductor manufacturing seeks to develop electronics products through economically-sound processes that minimize negative environmental impacts while conserving energy and natural resources. The goal is to make the lifecycle of electronic products more sustainable through energy efficiency, reducing waste, using recycled and non-toxic materials, and other eco-friendly practices.
Key principles of sustainable electronics manufacturing include:
- Energy efficiency: Reducing energy consumption in production processes through technology, automation, and optimized practices.
- Renewable energy: Utilization of renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and geothermal to power manufacturing facilities.
- Waste reduction: Minimizing waste generation through improved materials utilization, recycling, and re-use.
- Emissions reduction: Lowering air emissions, water discharges, and carbon footprint through abatement technologies and greener chemistries.
- Resource conservation: Optimizing use of natural resources like water, minerals, and forestry through efficiency, closed-loop systems, and product circularity.
- Eco-design: Designing products that are energy efficient, durable, non-toxic and recyclable.
- Supply chain sustainability: Managing social and environmental impacts across the entire supply chain lifecycle; procurement and logistics to reduce environmental impact
