Roadmap of Green-Oriented Technology in PCB Industry Within Asia-Pacific

To collocation with electronics, PCB match the products to pass through the generation of manufacturing, to step into the information time, to ride the generation of network and the forecast number for the future. PCB industry harmony with multi-element integration of process and products, which push to the HDI multilayer technology, the embedded/module design technology, the rigid-flexible technique and the green manufacturing technology into the pick high. From 1994 EU issued some green product directive such as "Packing & Packing waste", "Waste electronic & electrical equipment", "Restriction of hazardous substance" and published "Energy-using product" in 2005. This article in view of in the energy saving, resources saving, hazardous substance banned in the green technology ideological trend, The PCB industry in Asian-Pacific area (including Taiwan, South Korea, China, Hong Kong, India) present the green technology to which faces 2008, carries on the information collection and the company investigation (only in Taiwan). Results press as two parts. 1) Product of tendency present situation in global green trend which PCB localization. 2) Green efforts of Taiwan PCB industry in accordance to measure and technological development.
