In the effort to keep all of your devices charged and working properly, it’s nearly inevitable that a few cables and chargers are lost along the way. Some disappear forever, while a few might resurface years later – when it has become impossible to identify the device to which they belong. Eventually, most are thrown out – and add to landfills.
Qmadix has just announced a line of Ecoustic biodegradable cables, a more environmentally-friendly option for backup or replacement cables. Functioning like regular plastic-coated cables, Qmadix Ecoustic cables feature a plant-based, natural resin mixture in the their coating that will biodegrade in just five years – a much shorter time than plastic.
These new cables will include USB cables, HDMI cables, audio cables, and even iOS-based cables for your iDevices. And if you’re worried about your biodegradable cable disintegrating while you are using it, don’t be – according to Qmadix, the biodegradation only starts after the cable is buried in a landfill (so try to keep it in a clean spot in your room).
