SustainaCircuits is Elephantech’s proprietary technology that redefines PCB manufacturing, empowering customers to reduce cost, processes, and their environmental footprint.
Technology Overview
-
Manufacturing process
SustainaCircuits shifts PCB manufacturing from conventional subtractive methods to a cleaner, streamlined additive approach.
By combining Elephantech’s advanced materials, high-precision inkjet printing equipment and optimized process, SustainaCircuits enables direct circuit formation on base materials. This provides a smooth transition toward sustainable production without compromising product quality or performance.

Comparison with conventional alternative
By inkjet-printing copper nanoink precisely only where circuitry is needed1, SustainaCircuits eliminates multiple chemical-intensive steps inherent to the subtractive method.
This significantly reduces copper consumption, shortens the manufacturing process, and minimizes the use of chemicals, large volumes of water and reliance on complex equipment.1: Patent JP6300213B1, owned by Elephantech, Inc.
