• Jack Herring, Jiva Materials
This webinar features Maarten Cauwe of imec and Jack Herring of Jiva Materials, sharing their companies’ respective approaches to reducing environmental impact in PCB manufacturing.
Maarten Cauwe describes how imec has developed parametric life cycle inventory (LCI) models as a scalable and design-integrated method to assess the environmental impacts of energy, water, material, and waste across PCB and PCBA production. These models are built using data readily available from manufacturers and enable early eco-design decisions.
Jack Herring discusses Jiva’s Soluboard®, a globally patented, biodegradable alternative to traditional FR-4 PCBs. Addressing the critical issue of electronic waste, this material was designed for recyclability and significantly reduces carbon emissions — by up to 76% compared to FR-4. Unlike conventional thermoset materials, Soluboard® uses thermoplastics and natural fibers, enabling efficient recovery through a safe, hot water-based process.
