NEPCON China highlights green manufacturing
2 March 2011
News
2011 will bring a sea of changes in green practices for Chinese electronics manufacturers. Recycling waste electrical and electronic product regulations came into effect on 1 January this year. These new standards require electronics manufacturers to become fully involved in green recycling.
NEPCON China 2011 will shine a spotlight on green manufacturing in the Chinese electronics manufacturing industry. The event, which will take place at the Shanghai Everbright Convention & Exhibition Centre from 11–13 May, will feature a Green Electronics Design and Manufacturing Segment and will promote integrated green solutions among electronics manufacturers.
Green electronics manufacturing, an important part of energy saving and emissions reduction, promotes the environmental protection demanded by central government. The show is a way of promoting integrated solutions in green electronics manufacturing, effectively fulfilling industrial upgrades and using government strategies for industrial development. The Green Electronics Design and Manufacturing Segment meets these requirements by providing in-depth services for businesses, clarifying national policies, meeting market challenges and connecting exhibitors with potential customers.
NEPCON China 2011 will display various types of equipment, products and services relevant to energy saving and environmental protection in its Green Electronics Design and Manufacturing Segment. These include three major categories of recycled non-ferrous electronics, quality control, automation and anti-static electricity. The segment is a key commercial platform between vendors of equipment, materials and services, as well as buyers from new application areas.
Currently, green electronics manufacturing and sustainable development are key topics across the industry. At NEPCON China 2011, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ceprei Laboratory and Reed Exhibitions will host the first ever forum in China focused on green electronics design, manufacturing technologies, equipment and integrated green solutions.
