Interview: Thinking about recycling from the get-go
October 16, 2024 - Roll-up displays and photovoltaic films for façades – organic electronics have a great deal of potential. However, recycling concepts should be in place before the new technology becomes a mass product, recommends materials researcher Christoph Brabec.
To avoid producing unnecessary electronic waste in future, we need to design sustainable solutions for organic electronics today. In other words, we not only need to develop manufacturing processes and properties, but also plan for technical recycling solutions in the laboratory. In 20 years’ time, when a mass market may have developed, it will be too late.
