Exploring the Shift Towards a Sustainable PCB Industry with PCB Entrepreneur Steve Driver
Manage episode 397486392 series 2982797
In this interview filmed on location at Productronica 2023, I speak to Steve Driver, an old friend and a seasoned industry veteran with a wealth of knowledge and insights into the evolution of the PCB industry and its shift towards sustainability. Join me as Steve shares his experiences from his tenure at Jiva Materials, where they're pioneering a soluble PCB laminate, to his role at Studio 29, a venture that's transitioned from being a product design company to a PCB assembler and designer.
The conversation takes an interesting turn as we explore the theme of sustainability, its importance, and its implications for the industry. Steve provides thought-provoking insights into the industry's shift from traditional subtractive processes to additive technology, and how it could potentially reduce emissions and waste. We also discuss the importance of attracting the next generation of talent to continue driving this industry forward.
