Sustainability
Regular batteries have casings made out of plastic or steel. While steel could be reused, it can't if many people don't dispose of batteries correctly. Therefore, the battery industry continues to derive fossil fuels and iron ore to produce more batteries that are high in demand
Same goes for the electrodes contained inside batteries. Electrodes could be made out of lead, zinc, and graphite. If they aren't taken to a recycling facility, then there will be further extractions of these materials
For those batteries that are recycled, the process of doing so also pollutes the environment. In order to reuse the metals contained within, they are melted. In doing so, more greenhouse gasses are released into the atmosphere.
Lead poses a major threat to the environment if not disposed of right. It could make our waterways toxic and contaminate our soil. Since these batteries don't decompose, then they end up taking space in landfills
Our battery uses materials that don't pollute nor cause damage to the environment. It is all made out of bio-based material. E.coli, portobello mushrooms, and mycelium are assembled together to create a Geobacterry, which is 100% biodegradable
