Transforming the Electronics Industry with SustainaCircuits
Conventional printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing relies on etching copper-clad laminates to form conductive traces, which marks a subtractive approach long associated with resource inefficiency and hazardous byproducts. It consumes three to four times more copper than the circuit requires, uses large volumes of water, and generates wastewater that demands extensive treatment.
PCBs made through these subtractive methods leave a substantial environmental footprint. For example, up to 30% of a smartphone's total carbon emissions come from its PCBs.1
Elephantech’s proprietary additive process, SustainaCircuits, redefineds how PCBs are manufactured to establish a new benchmark for the electronics industry.
