The outer braided material is manufactured from ocean-bound plastic. With local social enterprise, the plastic it is, separated, cleansed, and turned into yarn creating our incredibly strong cable. Finished with an aluminium shield and handy Velcro cable tidy included.
MADE FROM OCEAN BOUND PLASTIC
Boompods are proud to announce their partnership with #tide ocean SA. #tide is a company based in Basel, Switzerland. Working together with social enterprises in Southeast Asia, to collect plastic waste that threatens our oceans.
But how is this possible? I mean, this was plastic waste!
Yes. But when it comes to the most commonly used materials we’re collecting, for instance PET bottles, this waste already had food grade during its first lifecycle. After collecting it, our local teams are washing and sorting the plastic, which is then shredded into flakes.
After this step, the innovative technology we have developed with the Swiss University of Applied Sciences OST, takes over: We transform these flakes into pellets in a pure mechanical process, neither chemicals nor virgin plastics are being added.
We use the latest technology and apply physical methods (vacuum, decompression, degassing, melting) to transform waste and extend the molecular chains of these wasted polymers. The result is a strong, clean and reliable material.
Supports fast charging
iPhone 8 or later this cable will charge up to 50% in 30 minutes when paired with a 18W or higher USB-C power adapter.
FLEXIBLE & STRONG
BEND TESTED 12000+ TIMES
Ocean bound plastic has been used to weave an incredibly durable cover, bringing a second life to floating ocean plastic. The Boompods designed flexible ends hold the cable tight but still allows internal movement, this stops internal fractures over time.
GO LONG
1.5m /5-foot allows you to easily charge in the car or from your night stand etc. giving you plenty of room. Equally, if you don't need it long, use the Boompods Velcro cable management included.
