SustainaCircuits is Elephantech’s proprietary technology that redefines PCB manufacture, 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 manufacturing process, and minimizes the use of chemicals, large volumes of water and reliance on complex equipment.1: Patent JP6300213B1, owned by Elephantech, Inc.
