Sustainability within the electronics manufacturing process is becoming a key area of focus, with large OEMs asking their manufacturing partners to help deliver on sustainability goals. Earlier this year I presented a webinar uncovering how the primary metallization step in PCB fabrication presents a key area of opportunity for OEMs and fabricators to unlock a sustainability win. I discussed how an alternative process technology — Direct Metallization (DM) — results in lower water, power and chemical consumption rates, which reduces CO2 emissions in the process. This technology helps deliver on ESG goals throughout the PCB ecosystem, all while eliminating the use of precious metals and formaldehyde.   You can watch the recording of the webinar, ‘Unlocking a Sustainability Win in PCB Fabrication Using Less Power, Water and Chemicals’ on our website now: https://lnkd.in/gcPTa9iy    #circuitrylp #sustainability #pcbmanufacturing #directmetallization
