Building a waste-free world – The Earthshot prize.
The envision is a world where waste is a thing of the past, where the remnants of one process seamlessly transform into the essential materials for the next.
To safeguard our environment and address climate change, we must eliminate single-use products from our production processes and daily lives. Our current lifestyle is unsustainable. While technology has undoubtedly enhanced our existence, it has also led to an alarming increase in waste due to its limited capacity for repair and reuse.
This issue is just one piece of a larger puzzle in our climate crisis, yet it holds immense significance.
In2tec’s ReUSE® and ReCYCLE™ technologies are crucial in establishing a framework for reusable electronic components, enabling them to be utilised for their entire lifespan and not just 4-5 years. This innovation shifts the economic model, transforming recycling from a cost burden into a valuable opportunity.
- Taking a ReUSE® lightbar PCBA for example, there is a 62.5% reduction in CO2e in first life build compared to a traditional lightbar PCBA. In second life build that reduction is 100%.
- If 10% of PCBAs are manufactured in ReUSE® it equates to 9.6 Billion Tonnes of CO2e saved.
- 10% prevents 100 kilotons of waste electronics from entering landfills.
