iNEMI: Video Series Shares Innovative Eco-Design Practices for a Circular Electronics Economy
February 24, 2022 | iNEMIEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
In 2021, iNEMI, IPC and Fraunhofer IZM hosted a series of interactive webinars featuring industry leaders sharing their experiences in implementing innovative eco-design work. The goal of these webinars — the Eco-Design for Circular Electronics Economy series — was to capture the best and most innovative practices being used today and to highlight the processes these leaders follow to determine where to focus their eco-design efforts.
In reviewing the presentations from the webinars, the Eco-Design team identified several common approaches, or themes, regarding how the different organizations drive circular economy in their business models and products. As a final report, the team produced four videos to summarize these successful approaches: Introduction, Take Action Now, Collaboration and Innovation. Watch the videos.

Getting Our ‘Fil’ of Design Constraint Techniques
08/07/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineFilbert Arzola is a principal electrical engineer at Raytheon SAS and an instructor who teaches one of the few classes (that I know of) that focuses on setting design constraints. I asked Fil to share his thoughts on design constraints: the factors involved, the various trade-offs, and his best practices for optimizing constraints for your particular design. As Fil says, “Everything about a PCB is a constraint.”
