Workshop Background

The IWPC has held 6 previous workshops on handset packaging.

We have learned about design philosophies, manufacturing issues, integration options, materials issues and OEM/EMS/Supply Chain relationships.

What we now must explore is the impact of recent global regulatory rulings on handset manufacturers’ responsibilities for returned handsets.

This issue has enormous impact on the entire wireless industry supply chain in terms of new design philosophies, new materials, new components, new manufacturing processes and consumer awareness, along with the formation of new partnerships with the recycling industry.

A mental picture – 500 million returned handsets PER YEAR will fill approximately 10 miles of railroad box cars.  No kidding !  How does the industry deal with this enormous problem, on a global scale, with international, national and local regulations?

Workshop Goal

The GOAL of this workshop is to continue the process of bringing the wireless industry supply chain together to explore the needs and available technologies to support these local, national and global environmental requirements for the take-back and reuse of handsets and other wireless electronics.

  • What are the reuse and take-back options and the economics and tradeoffs for these options?

  • What design, materials and process technologies do the handset makers wish for from the supply chain, and when, to meet the regulatory and consumer requirements?

  • What new design/product philosophies might be useful for these new regulations?
    For example:

    • Dis-integrated handset designs separating the radio section from the digital/user interface section?

    • Removable / reusable modules and components?

Noon

Lunch

 

1:00 PM

Set Up Break Out Sessions Working Groups

 

Questions to be answered:

1.  What are the gaps in:

Technologies?

Communication?

 

 2.  What is needed from the supply chain to address these gaps?

 

3.  What can the IWPC do to assist?

 

4.  What “Special Interest Groups, SIGs” would you like to see the IWPC organize to assist in these challenges?

The group will interactively discuss and identify opportunities for future fruitful development.

 

We will break into small working groups and allow members to interact with like and no-so-like minded professionals.

 

The goal of this process is to clarify the needs and identify new opportunities for development.

 

Each working group will identify a leader and at the end, the leader will make a short presentation on the findings and conclusions of their group.

1:15 PM

Breakout sessions

 

4:00 PM

Breakout session reports

Each Working Group Leader will make a 10 minute presentation to summarize the Wish List Items and Conclusions of his/her working group.

Group will come together and have an interactive discussion to exchange and challenge ideas presented by working group leaders.

This process dramatically expands the thinking of the attendees.
