Eco-ES, the workshop devoted to Eco-design and circular economy of Electronic Systems, comes back to DATE 2025 for its third edition. This half-day event consists of a plenary keynote, invited talks and regular presentations.

Workshop description

The impact of electronics on the environment is an important issue, especially because of the number of systems growing exponentially. Eco-design and circular economy applied to electronic components and systems are thus becoming major challenges for our society to respond to the dangers for the environment: exponential increase in electronic waste generation, depletion of resources, contribution to climate change and poor resiliency to supply-chain issues. Electronics designers willing to engage in eco-design face several difficulties, related in particular to a limited knowledge of the environmental impact from the design phase and the uncertain extension of the service lifetime of the system or parts of the system, owing to the variability in user behaviour and business models.
The objective of the workshop Eco-ES is to gather experts from both academia and industry, covering a wide scope in the environmental sustainability of electronics. The workshop is proposed and organized by partners of the European project EECONE (eecone.com), aiming to create an ecosystem on sustainable electronics.
