Responsible Electronics and Circular Technologies Centre (REACT) is a £5.5m project funded by UKRI to establish the UK’s first sustainable electronics centre in Scotland.
REACT will drive the transition to Net Zero electronics, addressing both the environmental and economic challenges faced by the industry.
The centre aims to promote the adoption of green technologies—often neglected by the electronics industry—through collaboration between academia, industry, and policymakers.
The industry faces significant sustainability challenges across the supply chain, including large amounts of waste, high emissions, and the use of limited and critical raw materials such as gold, palladium, and indium.
Solutions include reductions in e-waste, improved energy efficiency, and cost savings by adopting greener manufacturing processes.
CSA Catapult Scotland will provide access to cutting-edge equipment and world-class expertise to support start-ups, SMEs, large organisations, and academia in advancing compound semiconductor technology integration.
