Tech designed with the environment in mind.
The tech industry is full of innovation. New products, new breakthroughs, and new ideas are emerging every day. Brands are consistently introducing updated versions of products, and consumers are clamoring to get the newest version of every gadget or device, creating a mass of obsolete items that continues to grow.
Enter Nimble. Formed in 2018, Nimble is a brand taking a different approach to the tech world, operating in a way designed to not only create sustainable products, but to offer solutions for the growing host of unused devices.
One of the most eco-friendly brands on the market, Nimble is a Certified B Corporation, 1% for the Planet, and fully Carbon Neutral, and that’s before you start to look at their product lines. The brand’s roster focuses mainly on charging, with power banks, charging pads, and cables making up much of Nimble’s sales, though screen protectors and phone cases have made their way into the lineup as well.
All of Nimble’s products are made with a high percentage of recycled materials, which are then mixed with organic matter such as hemp to make items as sustainable as possible. Utilizing recycled glass, paper, aluminum, plastic, and more, Nimble creates materials through their REPLAY program, which collects waste and extracts every possible reusable component before responsibly disposing of the remnants.
Naturally, with this much focus on sustainability, Nimble’s packaging is just as eco-friendly as its products. With 100% plastic-free packaging that is both fully recyclable and biodegradable, the brand has gone to great lengths to not only talk the talk, but walk the walk as well. Nimble even includes a biodegradable bag with every order, allowing buyers to send in their old and unused devices, CDs, and cables to be used in future products and properly disposed of.
In 2022, the brand diverted more than 325,000 pounds of waste from landfills, with more than 27,000 pounds of that material coming from their consumer recycling program. Additionally, Nimble offset or diverted 100% of their 2021 carbon emissions through project investments and reductions.
While many in the tech industry have begun to look towards eco-friendly options, Nimble was founded with sustainability in mind. As one of the few brands that puts conservation above profit, Nimble has proven themselves to be worthy of our attention and we are proud to have them as a partner. When you’re looking for tech products that are not only sustainable, but actively working towards a better future, think Nimble.
