On April 21, 2025, Elephantech Inc. announced today that its innovative low-carbon PCB technology, SustainaCircuits®, has been adopted by Logitech for mass production in their MX Vertical computer mouse. Logitech becomes the first global company to integrate this cutting-edge solution into mass production.

At the core of this collaboration is SustainaCircuits®, a next-generation additive manufacturing PCB process developed by Elephantech. This process combines 3D inkjet printing and selective copper plating, eliminating the need for traditional subtractive methods like etching. As a result, this technology significantly reduces manufacturing waste and lowers carbon emissions.

The adoption of SustainaCircuits® aligns perfectly with Logitech’s "Design for Sustainability" approach, showcasing the shared commitment of both companies to reduce the carbon footprint of their products. By incorporating SustainaCircuits®, Logitech strengthens its leadership in sustainable design, focusing on creating smarter, more energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly products.

Elephantech CEO, Nobuya Shimizu, commented: "We are thrilled to announce this important milestone in our journey toward a sustainable future in electronics. Humanity has the ideas and technologies to shape a sustainable future, but the biggest challenge has always been commercialization. It requires innovators willing to take risks and early adopters ready to embrace these technologies. From the beginning of our collaboration with Logitech, we have been impressed by their execution. Without their commitment, this achievement would not have been possible. We hope this partnership will serve as a catalyst, encouraging the tech industry to accelerate progress toward a more sustainable future."

SustainaCircuits® FPC has been adopted for mass production in Logitech's MX Vertical mouse.

Prakash Arunkundrum, Business President at Logitech, stated: "Elephantech embodies our philosophy of driving meaningful change in the consumer electronics industry by reducing environmental impact. SustainaCircuits® has the potential to redefine industry standards and inspire further advancements. Companies like Elephantech inject dynamism and creativity into traditional industries. We are excited to see this collaboration, initiated through Logitech’s Future Positive Challenge, come to fruition. Their groundbreaking technology is already making an impact in our MX Vertical mouse, proving that sustainable technology is not just about invention but about scaling real-world solutions globally."

Collaboration Background and Future Outlook

The collaboration began in 2023 when Elephantech won Logitech’s Future Positive Challenge. After proposing its innovative low-carbon PCB solutions, Logitech’s team provided invaluable guidance, expertise, and brand support. Through multiple collaborative sessions, SustainaCircuits® was further refined and seamlessly integrated into Logitech’s first mass-produced product.

Looking ahead, Elephantech plans to expand its portfolio of sustainable PCB solutions and ramp up production capacity to meet the growing global demand. The company remains committed to supporting the decarbonization efforts of global electronics manufacturers through innovative, environmentally friendly technologies.
