CircEl-Paper Use Case Videos 

In the project the realization of paper PCB for different types of demonstrators for three different use cases was carried out. The envisaged demonstators are

• medical sensor (Glucose level monitoring system GCM),
• time temperature indicator (TTI),
• paper-based sound card for sound recording and playback.

GCM and TTIs are widely used as disposables. While GCM are in use for personal health care in B2C, TTI are a B2B product which is widely used in logistics as part of the distribution chain of temperature sensitive high value goods (e.g. medicines). TTI with different levels of complexity, from colorimetric to loggers for data storage and wireless communication, can be found on the market.
Sound cards are consumer electronic gadgets. The consumer electronics industry faces significant challenges regarding energy consumption, petroleum-based materials and poor product recyclability.

The CircEl-Paper consortium demonstrates that a 4.layer PCB can be produced that can be designed for a variety of applications, to meet future sustainability and circularity goals.

Building the Next Generation of Responsible Electronics
Printed Electronics for a Changing World

An event organised by the projects of the EU Green Electronics Working Group

Join the Horizon Europe projects SUINK, ECOTRON, HyPELignum and CircEL-Paper on 1 July 2026 in Brussels, from 8.30 to 16.30 CET, for an event exploring the future of printed and responsible electronics.

Explore how circular, bio-based and flexible electronics can move from research to real applications and discuss the future of sustainable electronics in Europe.

The programme will feature:

• key results including industrial use cases
• discussion on solutions’ implementation and go-to market strategies
• policy discussions connecting research, industry and decision-makers
• Tangible demonstration results of printed electronics

Whether you are developing products, exploring new materials, shaping policy frameworks, or supporting Europe’s green and digital transition, this event offers a space to exchange ideas on the future of sustainable electronics.
