CIRC-UITS

A large number of products contain various electronic components, and they are even fundamental in some of the European strategic markets such as the automotive sector. The project CIRC-UITS aims to promote and improve circularity within the automotive and mass electronics sectors by reusing and recycling semiconductors. The project seeks to unlock the full potential and benefits of Circular practices through digital technologies. Furthermore, the project aims to increase resource efficiency and independence and to reduce the negative environmental footprint of electronics production processes through circular behaviour. Another objective is to improve and standardize the exchange of information and data among leading industrial companies involved in the same and/or similar value chains.

The benefits of digital circular economy generated in the project will be demonstrated within four Use-Cases.

DIN is responsible for the standardization activities within the consortium. This includes the following tasks: compilation of an overview of published standards relevant for ALICIA, development of a standardization strategy for the ALICIA project including the analysis of standardization gaps, the identification of needs for new or revised standards, and, where appropriate, the drafting of CEN Workshop Agreements (CWA) with the project partners and any interested experts.
