SUINK

Industry demands the weight reduction of components to develop embedded functional electronics solutions to reduce the weight and volume of smart products. The EU-funded SUINK project will search to meet sustainability indicators along the entire value chain by designing and implementing sustainable, flexible, and printable self-charging power systems (SCPS) that supply power to several sensors. The solution will rely on the proper combination of biobased conductive, dielectric, and piezoelectric inks applied by inkjet printing, a high throughput and an easy-to-implement process on biobased flexible substrates. The project will consider sustainability in design, manufacturing, and use and implement new recyclability and reusability protocols to promote circularity.
