How sustainable do companies need to be to stay in business?
On January 21, 2027, Green Electronics, the technology forum for sustainability in electronics manufacturing, will hold its third event at the Wuppertal Paper Mill.
What’s it all about?
Regulatory frameworks are constantly evolving: expanded or restricted reporting requirements, exemptions, and policy shifts. At the same time, energy and CO2 costs are rising, as are supply chain demands – all of which clash with manufacturing structures that have been optimised over the years to meet different priorities.
The event therefore focuses on the “how”: how sustainability goals can be translated into measures that also pay off. How a medium-sized company can organise compliance with CSRD and LkSG using limited resources. And why scrap remains the most invisible form of waste in electronics manufacturing.
Here’s what you can expect
- Keynote: Laser Fusion as the Key to a Sustainable Energy Supply
From the research lab to the fusion power plant – the potential of a technology for tomorrow’s energy supply.
- The Paradoxical Age of ESG
High moral expectations, low regulatory reliability. How can one act sustainably when politics remains erratic?
- Sustainability in Practice
Avoidance costs, decarbonisation roadmaps, and the limits of implementation.
- Sodium-ion storage: Hype or the future?
Opportunities and limitations of a technology designed to reduce peak loads – and its actual market readiness.
- Scrap: The Most Invisible Form of Waste
How to eliminate defects at the source and salvage assemblies according to the IPC standard instead of scrapping them.
- CSRD, LkSG, and More in Small and Medium-Sized Businesses
A real-world case study – without a dedicated support department and with limited resources.
- Digital Product Passport
A Mandatory Requirement or a Selling Point in the Value Chain?

Floating Above Wuppertal
Before we dive into the technical details, let’s float over the Wupper: On the evening before the event, we’ll ride the suspension railway together and wrap up the evening at the Wuppertaler Brauhaus. Participation is voluntary and free of charge.
The organising team – including Stannol, Kolb Cleaning, Stego, and MTM Ruhrzinn – looks forward to your participation!
