Watch the 2nd webinar of the HaloFreeEtch project: Sustainability demands in Microelectronics: Innovations for a Greener Industry

23.Feb.2026   Reseach News

After introducing the HaloFreeEtch project in our very successful first webinar, our second webinar focusses on the sustainability challenges in microelectronics. Two contributions from leading research institutions in Europe highlight why we need to become more sustainable in electronics production. Dr. Cédric Rolin from IMEC discusses emerging strategies and innovations aimed at reducing the ecological footprint of semiconductor chip manufacturing. Prof. Edeltraut Guenther from UNU-Flores and TU Dresden adds her perspective as a globally recognized expert in environmental management and sustainability assessment. She also introduces the new cluster of excellence REC2 which is now installed at TU Dresden to create the scientific basis of Responsible Electronics in the Climate Change Era. The third speaker, Dr. Gertrude Kignelman, represents Centexbel, a Belgian competence centre for the European textile and plastics industries. She adds the perspective of another industry, the textile industry, on how it is moving away from halogen-containing substances through innovation.
