abstract:
in the current digital era, as the world is growing up with smart technology, at the same time our planet is drowning with materials scarcity, a huge number of unrecycled waste and environmental pollution. the world is facing challenges against rapid climate changes and continuous ecological disturbances, caused by the revolutionary growth in socio-economic developments with the fastest growing trend in smart electronics, plastic-based products, and the continuous dependence on non-recyclable raw materials. on the other hand, a huge significant progress in iot and wearable smart electronics systems is demanding very high-resolution displays of the communication interface and the use of green technologies, exploiting emerging devices beyond silicon, most of them at a nanoscale basis. moreover, energy is required to foster and power all these demands.
this is a way forward to minimize the electronic waste (e-waste) caused by the ever-increasing number of disposable electronic devices.
in that context, we aim to contribute to future green products, green powered, and make social awareness of green and sustainable technology, which could revolutionize the industry and society both with new business approaches with smart sustainable lifestyles.
key words: responsible electronics; flexible electronics; transparent electronics; sustainable electronics
