A Sustainable Alternative
to Batteries
for Low-Power Devices

LAYER® significantly reduces the maintenance and battery replacement costs of your solution.

Providing an alternative substitute for the battery

Batteries heavily contribute to the world’s environmental crisis. Only 49% of batteries are recycled in 2020, which causes pollution from unreleased metals. 

Full battery degradation can take over 7,000 years and contaminants like mercury affect soil and water for decades. Furthermore, the extraction of rare heavy metals used in batteries, such as nickel, lithium, and mercury, is highly polluting.
