Did you know that we could save 27.9 billion tonnes of CO2 per year by using reusable PCBs? 💻 A PCB, or Printed Circuit Board, is otherwise known as the integral foundation of our beloved electronics. Unfortunately, PCBs are notorious for their inability to be reused—with traditional adhesives making it almost impossible to successfully recycle these components. PCBs may seem small, but with the rate of e-waste currently increasing by 6% per year, this build-up is not something to be ignored. On the bright side 💡 an alternative to traditional PCBs has been created by Techies member In2tec Ltd, which recently had its documentary debut on CBS News.

Our event venue and home to Techies Go Green operations—The Guinness Enterprise Centre—recently took steps to advance sustainability in the building in a major way.

A fantastic turnout at Techies Go Green Live yesterday at our homebase, the The Guinness Enterprise Centre. A wonderful group of speakers, partners, members, and new faces came together to discuss business and sustainability. 🌍 From peatlands to ethical pensions, we talked through the unique solutions Irish and UK businesses are presenting to combat climate change—and the possibilities to come. It was an energizing and motivating day that ended with an insightful Q&A from Paul Hawken. Some attendees ended up staying well into the evening just to hear what an interesting perspective he has! A gigantic thank you to our speakers and sponsors who supported us in making this day happen. We’re grateful for the help in inspiring others to make sustainable changes at their companies—big or small, it all makes a difference. ♻️ #SustainableBusiness #GreenBusiness
