ERICE- Electronics Recycling In A Circular Economy

随着预计电子设备将从自有模式转向租赁模式，许多设备供应商正在寻找更容易进行内部回收的技术。ERICE将开发一种完全商业化的、易于拆卸的、适合循环经济的可持续电子组装技术，使用最初演示的可回收材料。该项目将开发、制造和测试低温制造的材料和技术，使用一系列特殊的聚合物层和粘合剂，这些材料和技术将允许直接解压缩组成部分。拆卸后，该演示器的材料和组件将被回收，并随后重新用于制造和测试另一个演示器。在早期成功的概念项目的基础上，该项目的目标是将第一个演示器中90%以上的材料再利用或再循环到第二个演示器中，同时将能源消耗降到最低。预计这种回收和再利用水平将代表电子制造业的世界第一。将开发允许双方组件组装的技术，大大增加技术的潜在市场。

With the predicted move from electronics ownership to leasing style, many equipment suppliers are searching for technologies to allow easier in-house recycling. ERICE will develop a full commercial, easy-to-dissassembly, sustainable electronics assembly technology suitable for the circular economy, using recycled materials from an initial demonstrator. The project will develop, manufacture and test materials and techniques for low temperature fabrication using a series of special polymer layers and binders which will allow straight forward, end-of-life unzipping of the constituent parts. After disassembly, the materials and components from this demonstrator will be recovered and subsequently reused to fabricate and test a further demonstrator. Building on an earlier successful concept project, the aim is to reuse or recycle over 90% of the materials from the first demonstrator into the second with minimal energy usage. It is antipated that this level of recovery and reuse will represent a world first for the electronics manufacturing industry.Techniques will be developed to allow component assemblies on both sides, significantly increasing the technologies potential markets.
