    From Make-Use-Throw Away to Circular: Plastics Manufacturing’s Next Chapter w/ Ross Eisenberg

    Ross Eisenberg, President of America’s Plastic Makers (the plastics division of the American Chemistry Council), discusses the industry's shift from a linear 'make-use-throw away' model to a circular economy driven by advanced chemical recycling. He explains how chemical recycling processes like pyrolysis and depolymerization can handle flexible plastics and contaminated waste that mechanical recycling cannot, effectively 'unbaking' plastic back to its molecular building blocks. Eisenberg highlights the regulatory hurdles facing the industry, specifically the need for federal legislation like the Recycling Technology Innovation Act and the Recycle Materials Attribution Act to clarify permitting and grant credit for recycled content to brands.

    Electronica 24: Steve Driver on Fresh Talent and Green Tech in the PCB World

    Steve Driver, CEO of Jiva Materials, discusses his company's development of a sustainable printed circuit board (PCB) laminate designed to replace traditional FR4. He explains how he partnered with young innovator Jack to create a 'green' material that offers a 67% carbon reduction while maintaining comparable performance for low-life electronics. The episode highlights their strategy of securing early adoption from major OEMs, such as a recent first purchase order from a major American OEM, and the importance of engaging with board shops to ensure the material is a 'drop-in' solution with minimal process adjustments.
