"Jiva Materials Ltd is a Hampshire based company developing naturally derived materials for the Printed Circuit Board market.

Soluboard® is the world’s first fully recyclable rigid PCB substrate with up to a 67% lower carbon footprint compared to glass-fibre and epoxy technologies.

Jiva’s Soluboard® copper clad laminate can be dissolved using hot water within a controlled environment.

This enables the recovery of the natural fibre, copper and electronic components containing rare and expensive minerals. The electronic components recovered from Soluboard® PCBs can be reused in many cases.

Jiva has developed a network of UK and European partners that enable us to supply finished Soluboard® PCBs to OEMs in a variety of market sectors.

Soluboard® can be used to produce double-sided PCBs with plated through hole (PTH) technology.

It is compatible with industry standard PCB fabrication processes and has electrical properties comparable to market incumbent laminates."
