Sustainability Assessment on Mobile Phone Manufacturing
Master projects/internships - Leuven | About a week ago
Explore the environmental impact by the manufacture of mobile phones
While concerted efforts have been made to promote greener Consumer Electronics manufacturing, achieving sustainable practices necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the environmental impacts associated with semiconductor fabrication and their packaging processes. With this topic, a life cycle analysis of mobile phone manufacture will be studied based on bottom-up modeling of a IC fabrication plant and assembly plants. This holistic approach can provide granular results, enables sensitivity analysis, and highlights high-impact processes that could be improved to reduce environmental footprints in existing technologies.
