Summary

Flint, the Singapore-based company that developed sustainable, cellulose-based, biodegradable, PFAS-free batteries, announced that its technology has entered production and will be available to select strategic partners. Paper batteries are a promising lower-carbon alternative that will benefit most consumer electronics applications. Following the transition from lab-scale development to manufactured cells ready for deployment, Flint is now expanding its pilot programs with global brands ahead of CES 2026. Flint, the Singapore-based company that developed sustainable, cellulose-based, biodegradable, PFAS-free batteries, announced that its technology has entered production and will be available to select strategic partners. Paper batteries are a promising lower-carbon alternative that will benefit most consumer electronics applications. Following the transition from lab-scale development to manufactured cells ready for deployment, Flint is now expanding its pilot programs with global brands ahead of CES 2026. Flint’s proprietary technology encompasses anode, cathode, separator, and electrolyte with cellulose paper at its core. The company’s batteries remain operational even when damaged and integrate easily with existing manufacturing processes, enabling rapid industrial adoption. With production now taking place in Singapore, Flint is now able to supply battery cells that are rechargeable, non-toxic, and engineered for safer use (non-flammable, non-explosive) for early commercial integrations. The company is bringing two battery products to the market, with full product details and real-world demonstrations scheduled to be revealed at CES 2026. “Reinventing batteries isn't only about chemistry, it's about building something you can manufacture," says Carlo Charles, founder and CEO of Flint. "Entering production is a turning point because it means our paper batteries can move beyond prototypes and into real devices, at real volumes, with quality controls that custome...
