Where to Buy Zero Waste Charging Cables

These bio-based charging cables have exteriors made from plant-based materials, sold in an easy-to-recycle paper sleeve. Engineered with lightning-fast data transfer speeds, so you don’t compromise on performance.

Check devices before choosing a charger, and never overload sockets.

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), they are easy to recycle, and lovingly handmade to fast-charge your smartphone. In pretty colours, they have 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.

Gomi Power Banks (made from plastic bags!)

Gomi Power Bank is handmade in Brighton from recycled plastic bags, and is also easy to repair. It holds enough power to recharge your phone up to three times, and also uses second-life batteries for durable but eco-friendly power.

It’s sold alongside USB-A and USB-C fast charging ports. Sold in a zero waste case too.

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.

This charger offers over 50% fewer carbon emissions than repairable chargers. The charger can even charge up to two devices at the same time, and yet is a portable size, to carry with you, when you’re out and about.
