ENGAGE
WHAT WE OFFER
The electronics industry is central to the digital and green transition, yet it faces mounting challenges: rising e-waste, supply chain emissions, growing dependence on critical raw materials amid geopolitical uncertainty, and increasing regulatory pressure.
​
Demand for semiconductors and electronics, which underpin a wide range of high- and low-tech applications, continues to grow. To scale responsibly, the industry must embed sustainability directly into the way electronics are designed, manufactured, and recovered.
​​​​​​​
REACT’s ambition is to enable that shift
​
We work at the intersection of research and industry to develop practical solutions that improves process efficiency, material use, and recovery pathways. ​Our focus is not sustainability at any cost, but innovation that supports net-zero manufacturing while strengthening industrial resilience.

Get involved – join us in shaping REACT’s future
Your organisation can play a part in advancing sustainable electronics. We invite manufacturers, supply chain businesses, policymakers and public bodies to partner with us.​
We recognise that agility of response is critical when developing novel technologies in a competitive environment. We therefore aim to provide facilities, expertise and outcomes aligned to your existing product development schedule.
​
We also understand the commercially sensitive nature of innovative technologies and applications and NDAs can be arranged where necessary to assure confidentiality.
Existing partners range from small start-ups and spin-outs looking to access latest generation equipment and expertise to support creation, consolidation or expansion, to larger organisations seeking to partner with a respected academic institution to exploit commercial opportunities.
By supporting REACT through collaboration, shared research initiatives, or investment, you will be contributing to the innovations that reduce e-waste, emissions, and dependence on scarce materials.
