Join the EVERGREEN Energy Movement
Our goal = Remove 625.5kg of CO2 from land fills
PROBLEM
Single-life Li-ion batteries waste accumulation
Single-life batteries are widely used in portable charging functions for your mobile devices and other electronics; each only has a short life span of 2 years, thus resulting in the huge waste accumulation in landfill (500,000 tons in China alone, enough to fill 133 Olympic-sized swimming pools). While there are international effort that attempts rectification, many of such entities overlooked the fact that aluminium and other material used to assemble are not recycled. In fact, only 5% of Li-ion battery waste is recycled; it is not designed to be recycled in the first place. These batteries are often filled with tiny, toxic materials that are hard and expensive to break down.
Anvene EVERGREEN Energy Movement
Approximately 40% of global CO2 emissions are emitted from electricity generation through the combustion of fossil fuels to generate heat needed to power steam turbines. Burning these fuels results in the production of carbon dioxide (CO2)—the primary heat-trapping, “greenhouse gas” responsible for global warming
The purpose of this movement is to put a stop to unnecessary disposal of Li-ion batteries by creating a product that implements an evergreen cradle-to-cradle approach. The product – Anvene Energy Block – creates a sustainable ecosystem where each Anvene battery owner enjoys lifetime ownership of the energy block as it leverages on the repeated process of recycling and re-assembling. However, this desirable state could only be achieved if the movement successfully removes a total of 625.5kg Carbon Dioxide; approximately equivalent to a total of 500,000 cells.
SOLUTION
In 2019, Anzene launched a movement for lithium-ion battery pack. By making a everygreen battery pack, we’re opening up the supply chain and creating new relationships between people and their Energy block. We’re making a positive impact across the value chain in mining, design, manufacturing and life cycle, while expanding the market for products that put ethical values first. Together with our community, we’re changing the way products are made; join us in this movement and build a greener future.
We care for people, partners & planet.
From the earth to your hands, a portable energy pack’s journey is filled with unfair practices. We believe that it is possible to achieve a more transparent electronics industry; where every one plays his or her own role in creating a sustainable landscape. By making change from the inside, we’re giving voices to people who truly care.
GREEN ECONOMY
How We Support A Green Economy
Anzene builds a deeper understanding between people and their products, driving conversations about what “green” really means. By creating a more sustainable Energy block, we’re demonstrating the endless possibilities for a greener future – for everyone. With every Energy block we make, we’re getting closer to a fairer and more sustainable electronics industry. From responsible material sourcing to advocating for workers’ welfare, we share all our results freely and set new standards for the entire industry.
For our generation and the next
GREENER FUTURE
Our impact as a responsible comporation
Caring for the environment and people should be a natural part of doing business throughout all industries. With suppliers, local communities and the wider industry, we work for greener materials and more responsible practices – one step at a time. Together we’re disrupting a short-term way of thinking that the world can no longer afford.
Creating Products That Last
- We design for longevity, easy repair, and modular upgrades. Our goal is to make your phone’s hardware last as long as possible, and to provide the support to keep its software up to date. The longer you can keep your phone, the smaller its environmental footprint.
Reducing e-Waste
- We want to make the most of the materials used in consumer electronics. We’re moving one step closer to a circular economy by encouraging the reuse and repair of our phones, researching electronics recycling options and reducing electronic waste worldwide.
Choosing Fairer Materials
- We go straight to the source to make sure we’re creating positive change. One material at a time, we’re working to incorporate fairer, recycled, and responsibly mined materials in our phones – to increase industry and consumer awareness.
Putting People First
- We’re innovating ways to improve job satisfaction for workers in the industry. Together with our suppliers, we’re listening to workers and creating better working conditions with employee representation, income and growth opportunities for all.
Meet The Suppliers
- ......
Mapping Your Phone’s Journey
- To improve how our phone is made, we need to know where it comes from. By mapping our supply chain from start to finish, we’re setting new standards for responsible material sourcing.
The change has to start NOW
Every year, consumers discard millions of lithium ion batteries. Many of these batteries are recycled under dangerous working conditions or end up in landfills in countries lacking a proper recycling infrastructure. In the world, only between 5% are estimated to be properly recycled. The rest lies forgotten in a drawer, never even getting the chance to be reused or recycled.
How can YOU join this initiative?
- We encourage consumers to return their old devices. In 2021, we set ourselves the target of compensating for at least 10% of our Energy blocks sold, by collecting old devices through our China recycling service.
- We recover e-waste in countries that lack recycling infrastructure. We shipped 5 tons of batteries from Nigeria and 1500 phones for responsible recycling to Europe in 2020.
You CAN make a difference too
With the help of our community and partners, we’re finding creative ways to maximize the value of the resources used in battery pack.
REVITALISE
A new future for old electronics
Customer will get a $25 discount, earn a $20 discount on your next order too and a miles credits when old battery pack is shipped back.
A New Life For Energy Blocks
Approximately 55% of the Energy Blocks that are still usable first get their data scrubbed. Then they’re refurbished and sold through a trusted partner in 3rd world countries so that someone else can enjoy them.
REFURBISH
RECYCLE
Others Safety Recycled
Estimated 45% of Energy Blocks that are no longer functional go to a local recycling facility where they’re processed to recover the valuable resources inside.
