Singapore start-up Flint has a lofty goal: it wants to switch out all the lithium batteries in the world for paper batteries. Flint's paper batteries are non-hazardous and can fully compost in a month, making them a safe and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional batteries. Beyond that, paper batteries have an adaptative design and are 10 times cheaper to produce.
