Description du projet
Rendre l’électronique plus écologique grâce aux matériaux en bois
Les solutions faisant appel à l’électronique grand public et à l’Internet des objets deviennent de plus en plus abordables et disponibles; ce qui entraîne une augmentation des déchets électroniques. Le projet HyPELignum, financé par l’UE, entend démontrer qu’elles peuvent être plus durables en combinant la fabrication additive et les matériaux à base de bois. Il proposera et démontrera une approche globale, de l’approvisionnement en matières premières à la fin de vie, afin de fabriquer de l’électronique sans carbone. Le projet cherche à montrer comment les matériaux en bois et dérivés de déchets de bois peuvent jouer un rôle central (substrat, composants de l’encre) dans la fabrication additive de l’électronique. Il développera également une micropuce efficace sur le plan énergétique destinée aux systèmes de détection et cherchera de nouvelles solutions pour recycler le bois et récupérer les matériaux électroniques.
Objectif
Reshaping the life-cycle of electronics, from raw materials to end-of-life, is inevitably one of the fundamental steps to accomplish towards a sustainable economy and society. The ambition of the HyPELignum project is to propose and demonstrate a holistic approach (from sourcing of raw materials until the end-of-life of devices) for the manufacturing of electronics with net zero carbon emissions centred around additive manufacturing and wooden and wood derived materials (i.e. bio-derived or bio-polymers from wood waste). Wood has been identified since it is a largely available and technically versatile material which has and will keep having a key relevance in constructions and households (New European Bauhaus initiative). Furthermore, its biogenic nature makes it pivotal in the European Community effort toward a carbon neutral society. HyPELignum pillars are: (i) implementation of the biogenic material, wood, as substrate for the additive manufacturing of electronic; (ii) implementation of Lignocellulosic materials (from wood production waste), bio-derived resins and abundant and low impact transition metals in the needed functional materials; (iii) the development of highly energy efficient µchip for driving integrated sensing systems; (iv) exploring new avenues for allowing the recycling of wood and recovery of electronic materials. Importantly in addition to the technical development the project will also dedicate a significant effort in the sustainability assessment (life cycle, toxicity, and biodegradability) to: (i) contribute actively to the consolidation of the definition of green and circular electronics and (ii) to propose a decision-making tool for assessment of green and circular electronics.
