Nimble

Not only do we love that Nimble creates sustainable tech alternatives, they also have programs set in place to help the company stay true to their mission and values. 80% of a Nimble product's environmental impact is decided at the design stage. By making an effort in the design stage versus waiting until manufacturing means that the company can ensure that the products stay true to their sustainable mission from start to finish. At the center of Nimble's mission is turning to sustainable materials for their products and packaging. We love that they use recycled plastic, organic hemp, recycled aluminum, and plant-based bioplastic as alternatives to virgin metals and plastics. These recycled materials require less energy to produce than those used in traditional technology manufacturing. To top it off, their packing is 100% plastic free and made from 100% recycled paper, meaning it's both recyclable and compostable! Tech producers worldwide, take notes! They also created a One For One Tech Recovery project, where they'll recycle one pound of e-waste for every one product sold! For every Nimble item you purchase (yes, even on EarthHero!) you'll get a free envelope, and you can click here to fill out a form to receive a return label to recycle up to one pound of e-waste for free! Nimble also knows that not all recycling programs are the same, which is why they've chosen to work with Homeboy Electronics. Homeboy Electronics offers certified recycling and data destruction for businesses, government organizations, and residences while providing permanent jobs for men and women who face systemic barriers to employment Nimble walks the walk in all ways. They're a certified B-corp, like us, meaning they're required to meet rigorous social and environmental standards in all aspects of their business. They're also a member of 1% for the Planet, committing at least 1% of their annual sales to environmental nonprofits. As part of their Tech for Good initiative, they consider all stakeholders in every business decision they make including employees, customers, community, and the environment.
