What Is the Project?
Introducing a revolutionary concept where everyday waste transforms into sleek, functional tech. The focus here is on power banks and Bluetooth speakers made almost entirely from post-consumer waste. The project, known simply as gomi, turns what was once considered non-recyclable waste into beauty—hand-crafted treasures that power your phone and deliver crisp sound. With designs rooted in sustainability, every element, from repurposed waste plastics to second-life lithium batteries, has been carefully selected to ensure longevity and reliability. This is not just about functional technology; it’s about reimagining waste as a valuable resource that fuels innovation and creativity.
Main Benefit
- 15% of each sale helps fund ocean plastic collection, amplifying marine conservation efforts.
- Products are designed for circular lifespans, reducing obsolescence and promoting sustainability.
- The power bank offers a robust 10,000 mAh capacity, ensuring long-lasting energy on the go.
- Handmade in Brighton using recycled studio offcuts, ensuring each piece is entirely unique.
- Modular design enables easy repairs, challenging the throw-away culture and enhancing product longevity.
Ocean Bottle x Gomi Collaboration
Partnering with Ocean Bottle, the project has launched an exclusive limited run of power banks and Bluetooth speakers made from recycled materials. This collaborative effort underscores the project’s core philosophy: turning waste into wonder while keeping the oceans in mind. Each unit becomes a token of commitment, melding style with a purpose. When enjoying the benefits of this eco-friendly technology, a reminder of its social impact is always there: 15% of every sale goes to fund ocean plastic collection efforts. It’s a celebration of art, innovation, and environmental responsibility—all rolled into one exclusive drop… a striking example of sustainability meeting cutting-edge design.
Design for Circular Lifespans
The guiding design philosophy is simple yet profound: tech should never become obsolete. Instead, products are created to have circular lifespans, making them both sustainable and long-lasting. Using waste plastics and second-life batteries as essential building blocks, each device is crafted to be repairable and upgradeable—in other words, something that doesn’t just end up in a landfill. The innovative modular design means that any component can be fixed or replaced, ensuring that these technologically advanced devices outlive the conventional throw-away culture. This approach is a breath of fresh air in an industry too often driven by planned obsolescence, reimagining how tech can serve not only its owner but the environment as well.
Sound Never Looked So Good
The gomi speaker is a standout example of where form meets function. Engineered by world-renowned professionals, this compact speaker delivers rich audio without compromising on aesthetics. The design is as much about visual appeal as it is about performance. Alongside its striking looks, the speaker captures precise sound quality that elevates any experience—whether played in a cozy room or at a lively gathering. Its fine-tuned engineering ensures that every beat, note, and melody is rendered with striking clarity. In this seamless blend of design and engineering, sound truly never looked so good.
Gomi for Life
This project challenges the throw-away culture head-on. Emphasizing the importance of sustainability and longevity, it offers not only products but a promise: gomi for life. If something goes wrong, repairs are available to extend the device’s lifespan, embodying the principle that waste can be transformed into lasting beauty. The initiative celebrates imperfections and reinvention, showing that technology, when designed with care and vision, does not have to be disposable. Every product carries a story of transformation—from post-consumer waste to a carefully crafted piece of technology that continues to serve long after its initial purchase.
Project Impact
- SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production – Proven by the initiative’s commitment to recycling non-recyclable waste and promoting sustainable design.
- SDG 13: Climate Action – Demonstrated through the reduction of waste and the development of long-lasting products that lessen environmental impact.
- SDG 14: Life Below Water – Achieved by dedicating 15% of every sale to ocean plastic collection, helping to preserve marine life and ecosystems.
From Waste to Beauty
Every piece of the gomi collection tells a story that begins with waste and ends with beauty. In a market cluttered with disposable tech, this initiative sets a new standard by embracing the art of transformation and circular lifespans. It is a celebration of innovation that does not compromise on environmental responsibility. Each product, whether it’s the mighty 10,000 mAh power bank or the aesthetically rich gomi speaker, embodies a forward-thinking mentality that bridges practical functionality with conscious design. Amid a world of fast fashion and planned obsolescence, this project quietly makes a statement—every device built here thrives on sustainability, creativity, and a commitment to making a genuine impact on our planet. The unique, limited drop nature means that each device is more than just a gadget; it is a collector’s item, an ambassador for the cause of recycling non-recyclable materials, and a testament to the power of environmental innovation. In every careful design and every intricate detail, a promise is made: waste can be reimagined into beauty that lasts a lifetime… a commitment that power, sound, and sustainable impact all go hand in hand.
