- Printed Wiring Board Partnership | Design for the Environment (DfE ...: "The DfE Printed Wiring Board (PWB) Partnership encouraged the use of technologies that improve both environmental performance and competitivenes s of the PWB industry. Traditional methods for manufacturing PWBs: Use toxic chemicals, such as formaldehyde, that pose potential health and environmental risks; Use substantial amounts of water and energy;Generat e large volumes of hazardous waste. The DfE Program partners, including the national PWB trade association, have examined alternative technologies that reduce or eliminate these impacts." Site includes general project information, findings & accomplishment s, publications, and a list of partners.
- Computer Display Partnership | Design for the Environment (DfE) | US EPA: The DfE Computer Display Partnership, along with the electronics industry, evaluated the life-cycle environmental impacts, performance, and cost of technologies that are used in desktop computer monitors-namel y, cathode ray tubes (CRT) and liquid crystal displays (LCD). Combined both the Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) and the Cleaner Technologies Substitutes Assessment (CTSA) approaches to analyze the environmental impacts, performance, & cost of both CRT and LCD desktop monitors. These evaluations will help the electronics industry: consider alternative technologies, materials, & processes that reduce releases of toxic chemicals, conserve resources, and lower risks to human health & the environment; perform an improvement assessment of display technologies & their components; & meet the growing global demands for 'extended product responsibility .' Includes general project information, findings & accomplishment s, publications & a list of partners.
- Lead-Free Soldering Partnership | Design for the Environment (DfE) | US EPA: "To address the information gap on the environmental impacts of leaded and lead-free solders, EPA's DfE Program entered into a voluntary partnership with representative s of the electronics industry and other interested parties to evaluate the environmental impacts of tin-lead and lead-free solders (see the Partners page of this website for more information on project partners). The partnership used a life-cycle assessment approach to examine the impacts of tin-lead, tin-copper, tin-silver-cop per, and tin-silver-cop per-bismuth solders. " Site includes general project information, milestones, publications and a list of partners.
- Wire & Cable Partnership | Design for the Environment (DfE) | US EPA: "EPA' ;s DfE Program and the Massachusetts Toxics Use Reduction Institute (TURI) entered into a voluntary partnership with representative s of the wire and cable industry to evaluate the environmental impacts of the current standard material formulations and alternative formulations. Specifically, the partnership used a life-cycle assessment approach to examine the impacts of heat stabilizers, polymer systems and flame retardants used in insulation and jacketing for selected wire and cable products. This information will address the information gap on the environmental impacts of the different materials used in wire and cable insulation, and help companies make environmentall y sound product and material choices." Site includes general project information, milestones, publications & a list of partners.
- Flame Retardants in Printed Circuit Boards Partnership | DfE: Manufacturers commonly produce circuit boards with flame-retardan t chemicals to help ensure fire safety. Some flame retardants, however, can be harmful if released into the environment. The electronics industry is engaging with other stakeholders in a partnership with DfE to better understand the full range of options for flame retarding circuit boards...The electronics industry is forming this partnership to develop information that will improve their understanding of the environmental & human health impacts of new & current materials that can be used to meet fire safety requirements for circuit boards. This information will be presented to allow industry to consider these impacts along with cost & performance of circuit boards as they review alternative materials & technologies. The participation of all relevant stakeholders is critical to developing the information for this partnership. Site includes general information, milestones, publications & a list of partners.
