TAGS: Sustainability / Natural Adhesives Sealants
FEICA organized a webinar on “Adhesives and sealants' unique properties in electronics under the EU Ecodesign Regulation” on 23rd November 2023 in Brussels.
Techniques for Repairability and Rebonding
During this webinar, FEICA discussed the different aspects of adhesives and sealants in the electronics sector and showcased their unique properties and the integral role they play in contributing to the principles of the circular economy.
The key takeaways of the webinar were:
-
With regard to Ecodesign requirements of adhesives and sealants, often the focus is on their weaknesses for recycling, although they contribute massively to the material and resource efficiency and reliability of electrical and electronic devices. The webinar presented the unique possibilities of adhesives and sealants to integrate functionality while enhancing slim design and durability
-
State-of-the-art adhesives are being used in electronic products, that allow debonding for the sustainable transition. During the webinar, different debonding techniques were presented as well as ways adhesives can be applied for targeted debonding
-
Unlocking the potential of the circular economy of reversible bonding requires optimal cooperation and coordination along the value chain including alignment of incentives
