REFORM - PRINTED ELECTRONICS FOR THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY

REFORM（循环经济的印刷电子）旨在解决传统表面安装和嵌入式功能电子产品所面临的环境和可持续发展挑战。该项目旨在加速和引导欧洲新型绿色功能电子供应链的发展。它寻求利用生态设计原则来确保生产的功能电子产品能够满足技术性能和合规性的多种应用要求，同时满足社会和环境的可持续性需求。为了实现这一目标，REFORM 将开发环保电子“构建模块”，重点关注绿色生物衍生粘合剂、导电油墨和柔性基材。这些将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。该项目采用跨供应链位置的整体开发方法，其独特之处不仅在于实现了与工业现实兼容的技术的阶跃变化，而且还生产了对未来可持续发展具有直接影响的原型展示系统。 REFORM 汇集了来自欧洲八个国家的世界领先的学术界、非营利性 RTO、行业协会、私营中小企业合作伙伴和大公司联盟。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存储领域的专业 RTO，在领先的欧洲大型合作项目方面拥有良好的记录。通过结合该联盟独特且互补的专业知识，REFORM 旨在使欧洲在绿色功能电子产品方面处于创新领先地位，增强欧洲的竞争力，并帮助实现欧洲绿色协议的雄心。 REFORM 的直接成果将是三个演示器：绿色智能物流标签、绿色嵌入式无线传感器和微型超级电容器，使该项目从 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.
