Canadian scientists have engineered a revolutionary battery from tree-derived cellulose nanofibers—an energy storage solution that’s not only biodegradable but vanishes into the soil within 60 days after disposal. Unlike conventional lithium-ion batteries that contain toxic metals and pose fire risks, these wood-based batteries are entirely plant-based, flexible, and eco-friendly. They've already been tested in lightweight applications like drones, LED lights, and wearables, proving both functionality and sustainability. The innovation marks a major leap toward greener electronics. With the rise of IoT devices, wearables, and smart packaging, demand for disposable batteries is surging—and so is the resulting e-waste. These tree-powered batteries could eliminate that problem entirely. Imagine powering devices without leaving behind a single gram of waste. Canada is pioneering a future where energy isn’t just renewable—it’s compostable. #GreenTech #BiodegradableBattery #SustainableInnovation #EcoFriendlyTech #CanadianScience
