CARE Electronics is an umbrella project within the EUREKA framework

CARE Electronics has positioned itself as the independent, industrial, environmental R&D network of the electronics and recycling industry in Europe

more than 60 members in Europe (and US)e.g. 3M, Apple, IBM, ICL, Matsushita, Motorola, NOKIA, Philips, Siemens, Sony, ...

Bi-annual International Symposium, Brokerage Event and Environmental Exhibition CARE INNOVATION


CARE Electronics forecasts products, technologies, services & societal

expectations identifies & researches strategic issues provides a platform for dialogue with government, business,

academia & society. initiates and supports a series of projects which deliver

sustainable solutions.

CARE ElectronicsCARE Electronics

CARE Electronics is a strategic initiative to understand the international & national implications of sustainability for the electr(on)ics industry in the future. CARE Electronics is an independent, industrial R&D network with members from large & small companies & research organisations.

SCARE SummarySCARE Summary

Co-ordination of existing projects and networks by providing a „one stop shop“ for information on research and development projects in order to avoid duplication

initiating research projects among various partners as wells as initiating real pilot applications

transferring eco-efficient technologies from large enterprises within the EU to European SMEs as well as to organisations in Central and Eastern European Countries

> 80 partner from 18 countries, 5 years, 100+ million EURO

Asset Management of IT Asset Management of IT equipmentequipment

Sources: obsolete equipment excess equipment

Collection in co-operation with leading logistics companies certified according ISO 9001 and 9002

standards rich experience on national as well as on

international levels highest level of quality Products have to be handled with care during

collection and transportation


Secure erasure of all data and software Testing of all components for necessary

repairs or upgrades Cleaning Re-marketing of re-usable products

second hand markets co-operation with companies world-wide

working in asset management of electr(on)ic products and components



Products that cannot be re-used as whole: disassembling into parts and components re-marketing of subassemblies and components


Key points: process of high quality and innovation best environmental standards security of data extraction of maximum value from

obsolete/excess equipment


Chip recovery technologies until Chip recovery technologies until nownow

manual process tools:

tongs tweezers screwdrivers

de-soldering tools: hot plates heat guns soldering irons ovens


Problems of “conventional” Problems of “conventional” technologiestechnologies

Quality of the re-use components Heating of the chips (body & pins)

shortening of the remaining lifetime No constant quality

(manual process with different employees)

Small amounts of equal re-use components Quality/Efficiency of the process

dependent on the experience/knowledge of the employees

“Not enough” for High-End Applications


High quality chip recoveryHigh quality chip recovery

Intelligent, semi-automatic disassembly cell for printed circuit boards recognition system laser desoldering station robot with special grippers

minimal thermal stress for the components extended life-time for re-use components

process guided by market information re-marketing via virtual market place


TVTARGETEco-effizient treatment of

TV-sets and monitors in order to fulfil the recovery

targets of the European Directive


BackgroundBackground Currently about 2 billion TV-sets in the world WEEE-Directive:

Recycling: minimum 70% of total weightRecovery: minimum 75% only possible by dismantling

TV-sets/computer monitors disassembled manually:

6-8 person-minutes to disassemble one TV-set4-6 person-minutes to disassemble one

monitor need for efficient technology


Project GoalProject Goal

Development of economically feasible technology for the disassembling of TV-sets and monitors

Reduction of the disassembling time close to3 minutes per piece

Ability to disassemble all products of the group TV-sets and monitors

Identification of the producer - individual billing system

Possibility to generate spare parts


Project topicsProject topics

Development of a methodology to identify and separately remove all

potentially hazardous substances for suitable treatment or pre-treatment of

CRTs that allows material streams open to novel applications to be obtained

for suitable treatment or pre-treatment of housings that provides material streams capable of later valorisation
