Logitech Picks Three Sustainable Electronics Innovators

Logitech named three winners of its 2025 Future Positive Technology Challenge, spotlighting technologies aimed at lowering carbon and improving circularity in electronics.

Jiva Materials (UK) developed a fully recyclable, biodegradable printed circuit board substrate that dissolves in hot water at end-of-life, enabling recovery of components and valuable metals.

Flint Labs (Singapore) is advancing rechargeable cellulose-based paper batteries designed to be lower-carbon, safer, flexible, and easier to manufacture than conventional lithium-ion or alkaline cells.

Suzhou CIYI Electronic Technology (China) is developing samarium iron nitride (SmFeN) permanent magnets as an alternative to neodymium-based magnets for low-to-medium grade motors and sensors; SmFeN offers strong magnetic performance, high-temperature stability, corrosion resistance, and uses a more abundant, easier-to-recycle rare-earth element.

An additional company, GRST Holdings (Hong Kong), received special recognition for water-based manufacturing, PFAS-free binders, and lithium-ion recycling approaches.

Winners will have opportunities to engage in proof-of-concept work with Logitech to assess scalability and integration into products, continuing the program’s focus on Design for Sustainability and material- and process-level carbon reductions.
