Gomi is known for its marbled portable speakers made from non-recyclable waste and it is now moving into the creation of high-performance portable chargers that are created in a similar fashion. The all-new portable speakers give new life to non-recyclable plastic waste and repurposed batteries—in fact, the eco-friendly charger is constructed entirely from non-recyclable plastic and 100% of the power comes from repurposed batteries that are diverted from landfill. At the end of their useful life, the lightweight chargers can also be returned to Gomi for free.
The environmentally friendly 12,000mAh Portable Charger is capable of charging a smartphone five times, and it can even be used to charge multiple devices at the same time.
