Elephantech and Logitech Partner to Revolutionize Sustainable PCB Manufacturing


04/30/2025


Elephantech Inc has announced a major partnership with Logitech International aimed at transforming the manufacturing of computer peripherals and printed circuit boards (PCBs). Through this collaboration, Logitech becomes the first global brand to integrate Elephantech’s SustainaCircuits—a pioneering low-carbon PCB technology—into the mass production of its computer mice.

Central to this partnership is the SustainaCircuits process, an innovative additive manufacturing method. By utilizing 3D inkjet printing alongside copper plating, Elephantech has developed a PCB production technique that removes the need for traditional etching, drastically cutting waste and reducing carbon emissions.

This initiative aligns perfectly with Logitech’s Design for Sustainability principles, highlighting both companies’ shared commitment to minimizing the carbon footprint of their products. By adopting SustainaCircuits, Logitech strengthens its leadership in sustainable design, striving to create products more efficiently and with less environmental impact.

“I am excited to celebrate this important step towards building a sustainable electronics future, achieved through our work with Logitech,” said Shinya Shimizu, CEO of Elephantech.

“While innovative technologies for a greener future exist, the real challenge lies in commercializing them. It requires bold pioneers and early adopters willing to invest in new solutions. Logitech’s consistent support and capabilities have been crucial to this achievement. I hope our collaboration sets a powerful example for the tech industry to speed up its transition toward sustainability.”

Prakash Arunkundrum, President of Logitech for Business, added, “Elephantech reflects Logitech’s commitment to driving meaningful environmental change in the electronics sector. Their SustainaCircuits technology could set a new industry benchmark. Innovators like Elephantech bring fresh momentum to traditional fields. It’s exciting to see a project that started through our Future Positive Challenge now delivering real-world impact. Their technology’s integration into our MX Vertical mouse shows that sustainability is not just about inventing new ideas but about bringing scalable solutions to market globally.”

The partnership began in 2023, when Elephantech won Logitech’s Future Positive Challenge. Following the initial proposal of their low-carbon PCB innovation, Logitech provided mentorship, technical expertise, and branding support. Collaborative efforts were crucial in refining SustainaCircuits for successful integration into Logitech’s product lineup.

Looking ahead, Elephantech plans to expand its range of sustainable PCB solutions and increase production capacity to meet rising global demand. The company remains dedicated to helping electronics manufacturers achieve decarbonization goals through cutting-edge, environmentally responsible technologies.
