In the connector industry, innovation in new processes and products plays a central role in seeking effective solutions for electronic waste. With electronic waste becoming the fastest-growing solid waste logistics globally, the environmental issues it brings cannot be ignored. These wastes may contain up to 1000 harmful chemicals, including microplastics, neurotoxins, and airborne particulate matter, posing a threat to the environment and human health.

At the ACHEMA conference held in Frankfurt, participants had in-depth discussions on new materials, systems, and processes to improve sustainability. Among them, Phoenix Contact demonstrated how it solves the problem of electronic waste in specific interconnect product lines by adopting new bio based plastics. These new materials not only help reduce carbon footprint, but also prevent harmful chemicals from entering the environment during production and recycling processes.

Especially the MKDS 3 PCB terminal block, which uses plastic from renewable raw materials, significantly reduces the environmental load of the product. In addition, the MKDS 3 PCB terminal block, RJ45 connector (6th edition), and ICS 20 series electronic housing are all made of thermoplastic based on castor oil plants. These materials have lower carbon footprint and environmental impact while maintaining the same performance as traditional plastics. O-type rubber hot ring

In the sustainable construction of the electronic supply chain, we need to start from the source, re-examine the selection and use of materials, whether it is internal products or packaging materials, and consider their impact after the end of their lifecycle. Only in this way can we better utilize resources and protect our common home - this blue planet. Rubber sealing ring for new energy vehicle battery
