Growing the PE industry in the UK
The 21st century is well underway and a new era of electronics is happening. Organic and other materials are being used to create electronic devices and circuits with shapes and forms that have previously not been possible.
Plastic Electronics Centres of Excellence (PECOEs)
The PECOEs are a key national resource offering open access facilities with capabilities for accelerating product design and development in plastic electronics.
Plastic Electronics Leadership Group (PELG)
The PELG is a volunteer group representing the UK plastic electronics community.
Welcome to the UK Plastic Electronics website. Here, you will find useful information about developments within this industry in the UK and around the world.
One of the main benefits of PE production techniques is that by using electronic inks and a flexible substrate, production can take place on a roll-to-roll basis, combining traditional printing techniques with cutting edge technology.
