recable is a German company that makes zero waste charging cables and other devices. Made with vegan conflict-free materials (and wrapped in a paper belly band), it’s easy to recycle, and lovingly handmade to fast-charge your smartphone. In pretty colours, it has almost half the carbon footprint of conventional cables.
Due to adapters being glued by others, their manufacturer can’t provide precise info if lightning cable glue used is vegan (it may be, they are trying to find out). All other items are vegan.
If you frayed unused cables, fill up a Zero Waste Bag from Terracycle with other hard-to-recycle goods (to make in something else). Or recycled at your local depot. Check devices before choosing a charger, and never overload sockets.
Gomi Portable Charger
Gomi Portable Charger is made from recycled bubble wrap, plastic bags, food packaging, recycled aluminium (from cars, window frames and cars) and upcycled e-bike batteries!
Designed to be repaired by you in just 10 minutes, it can charge your phone up to 3 times, and charge 2 devices at once (due to USB-A and USB-C ports). It’s also lightweight and sleek, easy to fit into your pocket. This unique company also makes sound speakers from the same recycled materials.
Benefits of Eco-Friendly Charging Cables
Using eco-friendly charging cables significantly lowers pollution and electronic waste. These cables are designed to minimise their environmental footprint during production and disposal. By choosing these options, you’re actively participating in the fight against pollution and waste.
While eco-friendly cables may cost a little more upfront, their durability means you’ll save money over time. Traditional cables often fail quickly, leading to a cycle of continuous replacement. Investing in a high-quality, sustainable cable can prevent this cycle, resulting in long-term savings.
High-quality eco-friendly charging cables can enhance the life of your devices. Reliable connections and better construction reduce the risk of damage to your electronics. By using these cables, you’ll find that your devices stay in good condition for longer, reducing the need for replacements.
