FLEXOO presents printed sensor innovations at EU forum on sustainable electronics
24.10.2025
On October 22, FLEXOO participated in the EU-funded workshop “Re-Thinking Electronics: Greentech – too good to be true?” in Prague, hosted by AMIRES and supported by ECOTRON and Convert2Green.
The event brought together experts from across Europe - including startups, industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers - to explore the future of sustainable electronics. Topics ranged from compostable components and rare material recovery to repairability and circular design.
During the session “The Future is Wearable”, FLEXOO CTO Dr. Jan Birnstock presented “The world’s most versatile sensors are printed: use cases and applications”, showcasing FLEXOO’s printed sensor platform for wearables, battery monitoring, and large-area sensing.
Printed electronics offer a clear sustainability advantage:
Compared to conventional manufacturing, they generate 91% less direct CO₂, thanks to additive processes that minimize waste and eliminate toxic chemicals.
FLEXOO CTO Dr. Jan Birnstock presenting printed sensor applications at the EU-funded forum 'Re-Thinking Electronics' in Prague — showcasing how sustainable electronics can power real-world use cases, from wearables to energy systems.
Diving into the details: FLEXOO presents technical data on its temperature sensor at the "Re-Thinking Electronics" forum in Prague - highlighting performance, precision, and sustainability in printed sensor design.
The presentation drew positive feedback from participants. One attendee pointed to the example of printed sensors in boxing gloves used to capture punch data - highlighting how wearable electronics can deliver precise performance insights while embracing sustainable design principles. By replacing conventional rigid components with printed, flexible alternatives, such applications show how low-emission, circular technologies can be integrated into everyday products.
FLEXOO is proud to contribute to the shift toward circular, repairable, and compostable electronics - and to help shape the future of greentech.
