May Week 3, 2023: In this monthly series, we highlight 5 climate tech startups to watch by featuring the incredible startups, companies, or projects that are leading the fight against the climate crisis.
Each month, we add these startups to our running list, which we have categorized based on fuel emission sector data from the most detailed, recent data SBC could identify from the World Resource Institute in 2016.This initiative from Startup Basecamp aims to support founders by giving them access to networking and exposure opportunities that help them to scale and finance their climate tech solutions.
Do not hesitate to join our collective movement by requesting your membership.
With care, Guillaume and the SBC TEAM
Founded: 2017 - Waterlooville, UK
Founders: Jonathan Swanston and Jack Herring
Elevator Pitch: The World’s First & Fully Recyclable Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Laminate. Problem they solve: The current substrate used in the PCB industry is constructed from epoxy resin and fibreglass; the only commercial method of processing waste PCBs involves shredding and incinerating them to extract the precious metals within. This inefficient process is very energy intensive and results in a substantial loss of value of any precious metals recovered. Impact: Jiva Material’s Soluboard PCB solution provides a reduction of 10.5 kg/m2 in carbon (60% to existing PCB materials) and a reduction of at least 620 g/m2 in plastic waste when compared to current PCB materials of CEM-1/FR-4.
