Sustainability

Sustainability

Here at Eurotronics we believe in sustainable electronics that make a difference. To us a circuit boards is much more than just an electronic component. It is also about respect for the environment and for people.

Determined to be one of the game changers – we take action by supporting sustainable innovation.


Quality

Here at Eurotronics we believe in sustainable electronics that make a difference. To us a circuit boards is much more than just an electronic component. It is also about respect for the environment and for people.

Determined to be one of the game changers – we take action by supporting sustainable innovation.

We think that the solution to more sustainable electronics lies not simply in using different materials, but also comes with longevity.

And longevity is created through thoughtful design paired with quality. Quality – on the other hand – is created by taking the right steps when producing printed circuit boards: from the quality of the raw material to the production processes to the know-how of our engineers. 

We work closely with our four partners in China, Taiwan, Switzerland and Germany. The same ones we have relied on for years, resulting in relationships built on trust and security. This makes the connection to our engineers more direct, we know how they work and they know how we think. Apart from that, we pay attention to details which renders in to high production yields and makes your pcb’s last longer!

Certification

Working with certifications has always been a big part of our traceability and integrity strategy. To us, it is a matter of credibility. Our circuit boards comply with the right IPC & ISO certificates, RoHS & REACH regulations and are free from Conflict Minerals (EICC-GeSi). 

These certifications give the consumer reassurance that the product they buy in fact has been certified and inspected by a third party. This gives a guarantee for the base materials, the production process, the chemicals used and the people involved is all done in the best possible way and that they meet the world leading standards for integrity and transparency. 

Every single circuit board has been inspected accordingly and accompanied with a certificate of compliance to ensure the integrity of our sustainability claim and prove that we are transparent, credible and trustworthy.


Process control & Regular maintenance

Optimal performance of production means regular maintenance and calibration operations
Production is carried out according to RoHS & REACH regulations and free from Conflict Minerals (EICC-GeSi)
certification
Regular inspections by international recognized certified bodies

Recycling and Reusing

Hot water is essential for quite some PCB manufacturing processes such as gold plating, black oxide solution immersion, washing of silkscreen stencils etc. and it all has to be treated before it can be discharged to the environment. The most ecological way is to treat the rest water with activated carbon. This takes out all the heavy metals. After it is treated, the water is purer than when it arrives at the factory from the main water supply! Used water that is free from any chemical content is used again in the various board surface treatment processes. This helps to reduce the amount of waste water needed to be treated.

We recycle as much as we can from our manufacturing process, from steel scrap to copper brasserie… nothing goes to waste: used drills, aluminium entry board, MDF backing board, cardboard, scrap laminate, spent etchants, used chemicals, scrap tin, scrap copper, scrap steel, scrap equipment.

Less water usage, less toxic waste

Strive for carbon neutral operations

Strive for Carbon Neutral Transport

There is no way around sustainable logistics in the future. Our freight forwarders constantly invest in necessary modernized greening solutions and lies in the line of Eurotronics’ ethics to produce sustainable circuit boards with the lowest possible environmental impact. Did you know that your Printed Circuit Boards arrive and depart at Eurotronics’ warehouse by electric vehicle or even by bicycle?

To reduce our carbon footprint, we support DHL’s GoGreen project portfolio for high-quality climate protection projects worldwide to offset emissions.
