サステナビリティサミット -Circular Economy and GHGs

As the demand for semiconductors grows, driven by advancements in both traditional and green technologies, material circularity and the availability of Critical Raw Materials are becoming increasingly vital. Japan, a critical hub for material suppliers and an essential player in the global semiconductor ecosystem, holds a key role in addressing these challenges. This presentation will provide an outlook for research and development aimed at enhancing circularity practices for key materials in the semiconductor value chain. It will outline a strategic inventory of prioritized materials that decision-makers can use to drive impactful circularity initiatives. Furthermore, it will call for collaboration with stakeholders across Japan’s robust ecosystem to support and accelerate these initiatives. Co-led by imec and SEMI, with contributions from the SEMI Circularity Working Group, this project seeks to foster closer collaboration within the global supply chain, ensuring a sustainable and resilient future for the industry.

How can we transform the global challenge of waste mismanagement into an opportunity for sustainable development? Despite global efforts, a significant portion of waste is still mismanaged, leading to environmental and health impacts. This presentation explores the shift from traditional waste management to a circular approach, emphasising the importance of closing the loop to achieve zero waste. By embracing circular economy principles, we can reduce negative impacts and unlock the potential for waste to become a valuable resource.
