Product environmental report — Controlant Saga Card
Advancing the circular economy
By saving resources and reducing waste: using nuSIM instead of Sim-card
By mitigating resource scarcity: using batteries primarily made from zinc, which is 12x more abundant than lithium and can be recycled with general metals
By reducing e-waste: using ultra-thin FlexPCB made from PI substrate and copper, which can be recycled with general electronics
Re-thinking the design of real-time monitoring
Weighing 10g, the Controlant Saga Card is significantly lighter than traditional real-time monitoring devices, saving resources and transportation emissions.
A sustainable zinc battery
Compared to lithium coin batteries, the zinc battery generates around 78% less greenhouse gas emissions throughout its lifecycle and achieves a 98% reduction in water consumption.
Smarter chemistry
The zinc-based chemistry of the battery ensures safety by eliminating the risk of explosion or fire from improper usage or seal breaches.
Simplified compliance
The battery’s non-toxic nature and classification as non-hazardous waste simplify regulatory compliance, sidestepping the challenges associated with lithium and Li-ion batteries.
Energy efficiency
The Saga Card's modem is one of the world's most compact, complete, and energy-efficient cellular IoT solutions currently available.
