Addressing the carbon impact of semiconductor manufacturing
Electronics is globally one of the world’s most polluting industries. Semiconductors have overtaken the automotive sector in overall carbon footprint, with the world’s largest chip producer now producing more CO2 than General Motors.
Semiconductor manufacturers have the opportunity to expand their capabilities and respond to increasing demand to decarbonise their manufacturing operations. This complex challenge requires significant effort, investment, and creative thinking – however, now is the time for the industry to think smarter and position sustainability at the core of its operations.

White paper: Intelligent Low-Carbon Semiconductor Manufacturing
Pragmatic is committed to working with industry leaders to create innovative techniques that decrease carbon emissions, improve resource efficiency and productivity while driving down the carbon emissions of semiconductor manufacturing. This white paper explains our world-leading approach to making our semiconductor manufacturing process more sustainable with the help of Industry 4.0 knowhow.
White paper: Life Cycle Analysis of Pragmatic FlexICs
This white paper looks at the life cycle analysis of Pragmatic’s primary product, the FlexIC. It explores why low carbon electronics are poised to play a significant role in implementing the ubiquitous Internet of Things. The paper reports our forecasted environmental footprint and highlights our ongoing efforts to minimise this further through advances in intelligent low-carbon manufacturing.
