Whether you a believer in climate change or not, one thing we should all be able to agree on is the fact that single use batteries is a business that is all about waste. Around 10 million single use batteries are thrown into landfills every single day in just the United States alone! That's over three billion batteries per year! You can't ignore the negative impacts that much waste can cause to our lands, resources, and the places we like to play.
A small company based in Park City, Utah made up of team of individuals that thrive in the outdoors is trying to change the single use battery problem. They knew their had to be a better way to create a more sustainable battery. At paleblue, they have taken the big clunky chargers of the past that I remember as a kid growing up and have built the charger right into the battery. With a simple USB-C connection, these batteries are perfect for home, travel and adventure.
I have been slowly replacing my batteries at home, work, and in my gear boxes in all types of items like my computer mouse, hair trimmer, flashlights, gaming controls, etc. Thus far I have had a very positive experience with my paleblue batteries and although I am only one person, I can feel warm and fuzzy inside knowing I am at least doing something to help reduce my carbon footprint.
When you are a company that is offering a product for people to buy, one of the things that is a necessary evil is packaging and paleblue gets that. But they also get that they can do better and offer packaging that will get your product to you in perfect condition while at the same time making a minimal impact on the environment. These batteries ship in a reusable case that is great for both storage and transport, whether that be in your car, backpack, suitcase, etc.
How do paleblue batteries stack up against other types of batteries? This information below that I pulled off paleblue's website was quite surprising. Even against other chargeable batteries there are numerous advantages to using paleblue batteries such as better and more steady power, environmentally conscious packaging, double the charges and no bulky charger.
Paleblue offers many other accessories as well, like their approach solar chargers.
These solar chargers are great for camping and even backpacking with the approach 1 weighing only 310 grams. This will be perfect for day to weeklong excursions and can be attached to a backpack while hiking and charging simultaneously.
At paleblue they offer many different bundles including one that makes it super easy to convert your home over to rechargeable, sustainable batteries for around $200.
Paleblue's commitment to a better tomorrow goes behind just making better batteries. They have partnered with several organizations that are committed to making the world a greener and better place to live. But they also spend time actually serving alongside some of these organizations, like Fish For Garbage where me and my son were able to help out with paleblue at a the Provo River garbage clean up.
I am stoked for what paleblue is doing and I'm hoping to see more things coming from paleblue in the future! To support this website you can shop through any of the links provided in this article that link back to the paleblue website.
