\n12,000mAh Portable Charger made from 100% non-recyclable plastic waste, with 100% of the
\npower coming from repurposed batteries saved from otherwise going to landfill.
\nThe design studio originally won 10,000 from the Environment Now Programme to kickstart
\nthe project in January 2018, and went on to gain global media coverage with their first
\nsustainable innovation; the Gomi Speakers. Now, their aim is to scale-up and introduce their
\nconsumer electronic products made from waste materials that are otherwise destined for
\nlandfill, to the mass global market – at an affordable price of under 40 each.<\/p>\n
\nget one via Kickstarter.<\/p>\n
\nthe UK alone throws away 1.2 billion kilos of flexible plastics. Worldwide, 150 billion kilos of
\nflexible plastics are produced every year. Flexible plastic (LDPE) consists of plastic bags,
\nbubble wrap and pallet wrap, which are all not accepted by UK councils for recycling.
\nBattery waste is a growing issue worldwide, currently over 3 billion batteries are produced
\nevery year with no real way to recycle or reuse them in commercial products. With global
\ndemand for li-ion batteries forecasted to grow 10% a year from 2020-25, the waste pile of
\nbatteries will carry on getting bigger. If electric and hybrid vehicles are removed from the
\nforecast, the number falls to just 4% per year. Gomi is pushing hard to work with electric car
\nmanufacturers to ensure that their batteries has a second life. They hope to release portable
\nchargers made from electric car batteries later in the year too.<\/p>\n
\nhigh-powered everyday Portable Chargers.
\nGomi starts every project with one clear question – ‘How can we turn pollutant waste
\nmaterials into cherished products that people will love using everyday?’ and began with
\nthese basic principles when designing the Portable Chargers:<\/p>\n
\nwithout recharging, but slim enough to fit in your pocket.
\n? Beautiful, with each one being an original work of art. This emotionally durable
\nrelationship people have with their objects can be enhanced through owning
\nsomething truly individual.
\n? Easy to manufacture in house in our Brighton workspace, which would benefit the
\nlocal economy and avoid any long-distance outsourcing which would add to the
\ncarbon footprint of the product.<\/p>\n
\nnew future products.
\n? Affordable and accessible to all, keeping the cost of the product under 40 each.<\/p>\n
\nwaste – intercepting it before it’s sent to incineration or landfill. The Studio also accepts
\nplastic waste from local households and businesses.
\nThe Studio is currently looking at new ways we can scale-up their production process to
\nintercept more waste, and we hope to use the Kickstarter funds to achieve this.
\nSustainable Designer and Manager at Gomi, Tom Meades, says ‘Over the past 9 months, we
\nhave diverted around 500kg of ‘non-recyclable’ plastic packaging waste from going to
\nlandfill. We hope that by introducing an affordable, fully-circular product built from
\nrecycled plastic material, we can increase this amount by over 10x. Helping to clean the
\nplanet of pollutant waste streams, but also create fun, everyday cherished products
\nthat people love to use.’<\/p>\n
