Circularity
This research line is dedicated to developing new methodologies for recycling electronic components and chips. The goal is to improve efficiency and sustainability in the recycling process, but also to obtain knowledge to be used in the production and assembly of chip-based devices.
This involves exploring innovative techniques to extract valuable materials from electronic waste and enhance lifecycle management. The ultimate aim is to advance recycling practices, reduce electronic waste, and contribute to more sustainable electronic manufacturing and disposal.
Projects
The project aims to develop an automated sorting machine to efficiently recover valuable metals from electronic waste, addressing the low recycling rate and complex recovery process of critical raw materials.
This project aims to create a fully circular generation of electronics, eliminating e-waste and reducing the need for critical raw materials, while contributing to the Dutch Government’s ‘Netherlands Circular by 2050’ program.
