Imec´s sustainable-semiconductor program is a success right away!

Imec´s sustainable-semiconductor program (LINK) seems to be a success right away:

• Less than a year after its official launch, some of the leading consumer electronics and semiconductor manufacturing players have signed up as partners in imec’s program for Sustainable Semiconductor Technologies and Systems (SSTS).
• Apple joined the program Apple joins Imec's new Sustainable Semiconductor research program | iMore
• The program assesses the environmental impact of new technologies, identifies high-impact problems, and defines semiconductor manufacturing solutions with less environmental impact.
• In this way, the program gathers the semiconductor value chain to jointly target net-zero emissions for chip manufacturing.
• One good reason for success is most probably that Lars-Åke Ragnarsson from Sweden is the program director of sustainable semiconductor technologies and systems (SSTS) at imec.
