PRINTED BATTERIES empowering GREEN ELECTRONICS 1

Agenda

1. What is Environmentally Friendly Electronics ?

Material - a Go / No-Go Challenge

Energy - a Market Challenge

Recycling - a Money Challenge

Production - a “Green” Challenge

2. What is a Green Battery ?

Green Battery – a Legislation Challenge ?

Green Battery – a Technology Challenge ?


Material - a Go / No-Go Challenge

Recycling- a Money Challenge


The EP Environment

Committee has

recommended that

Member States should

collect 85%

of WEEE by 2016

and

recycle 50-75%

Producers should

integrate the costs

generated by collection

and treatment into their

product prices,

so that they will have an

incentive to reduce those

costs

Production - a “Green” Challenge


• Non-silicon based components : Additive Processes / Waste management

• Manufacturing Environment : From Clean Room to Clean Process

• Green Production to ensure a Low Cost Location

Printed Batteries / Battery Legislation


‘battery’ or ‘accumulator’ means any source of electrical energy generated by direct

conversion of chemical energy and consisting of one or more primary battery cells

(nonrechargeable) or consisting of one or more secondary battery cells (rechargeable);

Appliances into which batteries and accumulators are incorporated shall be accompanied

by instructions showing how they can be removed safely and, where appropriate, informing

the end-user of the type of the incorporated batteries and accumulators.

These provisions shall not apply where, for safety, performance, medical or data integrity

reasons, continuity of power supply is necessary and requires a permanent connection

between the appliance and the battery or accumulator.

Member States shall, having regard to the environmental impact of transport, take

necessary measures to maximize the separate collection of waste batteries and

accumulators and to minimize the disposal of batteries and accumulators as mixed

municipal waste in order to achieve a high level of recycling for all waste batteries and

accumulators.

Printed Batteries

Increased environmental performance


Member States which have manufacturers established on their territory shall promote

research and encourage improvements in the overall environmental performance of

batteries and accumulators throughout their entire life cycle as well as the

development and marketing of batteries and accumulators which contain smaller

quantities of dangerous substances or which contain less polluting substances, in

particular as substitutes for mercury, cadmium and lead.

What makes printed battery technology

environmental friendly ?


- printed batteries are

–> ROHS compliant

- printed batteries do not need a separate housing

–> printegration !

- printed batteries are very flexible in size (less row material)

-> customization

- printed batteries will enable

–> disposable electronics

Printed batteries are very flexible in size and performance

and therefore less row material is needed -> customization for mid/low volume

• Security

• Data Safety

• Medical

Or, you can create your own

WEEE Exemption : Products where the electrical

or electronic components are not needed to fulfill

its main function, e.g. a musical birthday card

What is a Green Battery ?


All of these Statements are open for discussion :

Printed battery

• is based on the “same” kind of main materials as traditional batteries

• materials provide at least the same amount of energy as a traditional processed

• can be easier integrated into intelligent objects for the Internet of Things

• can be produced with less than 50% CO2 impact

• is leading in Material Safety , Material Efficiency and no scarce Materials Usage

• has to be compliant with the current battery legislation

In printed flexible, autonomous systems the CO2% battery impact(10%) is similar to the %

of systems with traditional batteries .

As traditional batteries could not enable these types of new systems :
