REFORM - PRINTED ELECTRONICS FOR THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY

改革（pRinted Electronics FOR the circular econoMy）致力于解决传统表面安装和嵌入式功能电子产品的环境和可持续性挑战。该项目旨在加速和引导欧洲新型绿色功能电子产品供应链的发展。它旨在使用生态设计原则，以确保功能电子产品可以满足技术性能和合规性的多种应用要求，同时也满足社会和环境对可持续性的需求。为了实现这一目标，改革将开发环境友好型电子“积木”，重点是绿色、生物衍生粘合剂、导电油墨和柔性基板。这些将被集成到行业领先的功能电子系统中，并得到一致性测试和材料回收方法创新的支持。该项目采用整体方法来开发整个供应链位置，不仅实现了与工业现实兼容的技术的逐步变革，而且还生产了对未来可持续发展产生直接影响的原型展示系统。改革汇集了来自欧洲八个国家的学术界、非营利研究与技术组织、工业协会、私营中小企业合作伙伴和大型公司的世界领先财团。该项目由女性领导，并由CIDETEC协调，CIDETEC是一家位于西班牙的表面工程和能源储存领域的专业RTO，在领导大型欧洲合作项目方面有着良好的记录。通过结合该联盟的独特和互补的专业知识，改革旨在使欧洲在绿色功能电子产品方面处于创新领先地位，提高欧洲的竞争力，并帮助实现欧洲绿色交易的雄心。改革的直接成果将是三个示范品：一个绿色智能物流标签，一个绿色嵌入式无线传感器和一个微型超级电容器，将项目从TRL 2/3提升到TRL 5。

REFORM (pRinted Electronics FOR the circular econoMy) sets out to address the environmental and sustainability challenges around conventional surface mounted and embedded functional electronics. The project aims to accelerate and guide the development of a new European green functional electronics supply chain. It seeks to use ecodesign principles to ensure that functional electronics can be produced that meet multiple application requirements for technological performance and compliance, while also meeting societal and environmental needs for sustainability. To achieve this, REFORM will develop environmentally benign electronic ‘building blocks’ focusing on green, bio-derived adhesives, conductive inks and flexible substrates. These will be integrated into industry-led functional electronics systems and supported by innovations in conformance testing and material recovery methods. Taking a holistic approach to development across the supply chain positions, this project is unique in not only achieving a step-change in technology compatible with industrial reality, but also producing prototype showcase systems with direct future impact on sustainability. REFORM brings together a world-leading consortium of academics, non-profit RTOs, industrial associations, private SME partners and large firms from eight countries across Europe. The project is female-led and coordinated by CIDETEC, a specialist RTO in surface engineering and energy storage based in Spain with a strong track record of leading large collaborative European projects. By combining the consortium’s unique and complementary expertise, REFORM aims to give Europe an innovation lead in green functional electronics, enhancing European competitiveness, and helping meet the ambitions for the European Green Deal. The immediate outcome of REFORM will be three demonstrators: a green smart logistics tag, a green embedded wireless sensor and a microsupercapacitor, taking the project from TRL 2/3 to TRL 5.
