Sustainable Electronics

Protecting future generations is a responsibility we all share. In2tec is proud to be at the forefront of inspiring sustainable electronics and driving electronics circularity.

ReUSE® 

ReUSE® is a suite of materials, manufacturing process, and proprietary design techniques to deliver printed circuit board assemblies that can be fully unzipped at end-of-life (EOL), or for repair.

The patented inks, adhesives, materials, and process provides the backbone in creating a truly circular model. It allows areas such as cross links to provide bond strengths equivalent to solder, whilst being manufactured at lower temperatures and producing far fewer CO2 emissions.

ReUSE® is compatible with traditional substrates such as FR4, and other rigid and flexible alternatives, including In2tec's Flexi-hibrid™ technology.

The versatility of the technology gives the opportunity for global commercialisation and a vast reduction in the overall energy used to manufacture and to process when it reaches EOL. Something that is not possible when using conventional PCBA process or materials.

ReCYCLE™

ReCYCLE™ is the unzipping mechanism for ReUSE® PCBAs. A combination of proprietary processes permanently changes the chemistry allowing printed circuit board assemblies to be returned to their constituent parts. The process is ultra-low energy and brings big value to EOL electronics across the supply chain with the ability to repair or reuse the components and materials.

The process in which the PCBAs are returned back to the original bill of materials is ultra-low energy and brings big value to EOL electronics across the supply chain.

The ability to gain undamaged and uncontaminated components for second-life use means they are both carbon-free, and zero-cost, shifting the paradigm of electronics recycling with a positive cash flow through the resale of valuable components and materials by OEMs, Recyclers, and component OEMs, and feeding the growing second-life market for components.
