About Project
The Aloe Ecell project is an innovation that originated in India to address the nation’s environmental pollution caused by conventional batteries. Instead of toxic chemical electrolytes, the project team developed methods to utilize natural, biodegradable aloe vera gel to create an eco-friendly battery. Since aloe absorbs CO₂ during growth, cultivation itself becomes a carbon-negative process, and after use, the battery leaves behind no toxic waste.
Founded in 2019, Aloe Ecell quickly advanced from its first prototype in 2021, to an MVP in 2023, and toward commercialization in 2025. Pilot programs are already underway in India, the UAE, and Sweden. The team has been successful in meeting national standards, securing government support, and developing patented technology, furthermore, the project has demonstrated both feasibility and scalability.
Aloe Ecell enables anyone to make sustainable choices without changing everyday habits, providing a safe, eco-friendly alternative. Simultaneously, it drives cultural change through battery collection and reward-based recycling programs, encouraging participation from schools, companies, and households. This has created new green jobs and increased awareness of the circular economy.
The project advances through multi-layered collaboration — involving scientists, manufacturers, and business incubators (TDB, CIIC) for R&D; as well as NGOs and educational institutions responsible for awareness campaigns; and distribution networks for feedback. This network-based approach played a crucial role in turned Aloe Ecell into a community-driven model of sustainable energy innovation.
Going forward, Aloe Ecell is poised to expand globally in response to stricter hazardous waste regulations and growing demand for green alternatives. By scaling up manufacturing facilities, building localized recycling systems, and forming global partnerships, it aims to transform the ordinary battery into a symbol of sustainability.
