Jiva will use Soluboard® as a catalyst to rethink the way that we handle the fastest growing waste stream in the world.The unique properties of Soluboard® will enable PCBs made of the material to be more easily broken down and recycled, increasing yields of precious metal recovery and decreasing environmental damage in the process.Soluboard® will act as future-proofing for customers within the European electronics market in preparation for when the European Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive is renewed.Jiva is actively collaborating with potential customers to produce advanced beta prototypes based on their IP. These PCBs will be tested internally by the potential customer in line with their specifications and then tested in-situ within a functioning product.Soluboard® will be the world’s first commercialised recyclable PCB substrate. This unique feature partnered with its mechanical and electrical properties means that Soluboard® can be widely adopted within the electronics industry.
