Flint's paper batteries, derived from cellulose and sustainable plant materials, are transitioning from concept to consumer products. These batteries, first showcased at CES, are set to appear in devices from partners such as Logitech and Amazon later this year. The company's innovative approach utilizes local plant matter, including invasive species, to create eco-friendly components.

The technology focuses on reimagining battery composition rather than altering device compatibility. Flint's batteries feature familiar formats like AA and AAA, aiming to provide a comparable lifespan to existing alkaline options. This strategy ensures a smoother integration into the current market, reducing disruption for consumers and manufacturers alike.

With production already underway in Singapore, Flint's commitment to sustainability is evident in its material sourcing and water-based chemical processes. The company's ambition is for its cellulose-based battery components to influence the broader electronics industry, significantly reducing the environmental footprint of everyday gadgets.
