MAGFAST is Committed to Providing a Greener World

The latest side effect of our technology-driven society is e-waste. E-waste refers to the problem of electronic gadgets and devices that quickly become obsolete and accumulate in landfills around the world.

It's no secret that users of modern technology need to stay abreast of the times, upgrading devices and equipment at every turn. But every hardware upgrade that each individual makes contributes to the problem of increasing e-waste around the world. Junkyards and landfills are overloaded with no-longer-useful devices, such as phones, tablets, TVs, VCRs, DVD players, computers, fax machines, copiers, video game consoles, and other electronic devices, as well as the batteries and chargers that support these obsolete devices.

U.S. consumers alone generate over 9 million tons of electronic waste yearly, while only about 12.5 percent of e-waste ends up being recycled. And while e-waste represents only about 2 percent of U.S. landfill waste, it produces over 70 percent of toxic waste, including such neurotoxins as lead and other heavy metals that can leach into the ground and water, affecting local ecosystems and becoming a detriment to the quality of life of animals and humans.

Tragically, there is no real solution in place to address this problem, as most modern cities and municipalities don't have facilities designed to collect and dispose of this type of waste. While recycling may be a partial solution, recycling centers are few and far between, particularly in rural areas, and once devices become obsolete, it's hard to keep recycling them.

For this reason, the responsibility for addressing the problem of increasing e-waste around the world has fallen largely on the companies that manufacture consumer electronics. Fortunately, this challenge has led some of the newer tech companies to create products of a superior quality that reduce e-waste by providing such solutions as extended lifespan and recycling options for electronic devices.

One growing tech company that has stepped up to the challenge of reducing e-waste and growing a greener world is MAGFAST, a New York-based brand that's launching a new generation of electronic charging devices. MAGFAST produces a line of sleek, interconnected charging products that are changing the way we charge our devices, reducing waste and providing more hours of power for our beloved gadgets. In fact, one of the products recently released by MAGFAST is so powerful, it can jump start your car.

MAGFAST is making a difference by creating the world's first line of electronic chargers for use in your home, car, or office that use magnetic energy to interconnect with other products in the family, greatly reducing the need for extra wires and cables. MAGFAST is committed to battling the problem of e-waste by producing the world's greenest line of chargers. As an added bonus, the chargers are sleek and elegant, looking great in your home and reducing the mess and clutter that comes with extra wires and cables.

MAGFAST chargers also provide a variety of inputs so that you can use them with different types of electronic devices. In other words, one charger can charge your phone, tablet, laptop, and video game console, as well as other devices. The MAGFAST Pro Kit provides a family of chargers that charge pretty much every electronic device that you can think of. This reduces the need for a messy collection of individual device chargers that will eventually end up cluttering landfills.

To further underscore the company's commitment to a greener world, MAGFAST has recently partnered with Trees for the Future and has committed to planting a tree for every new unit ordered and seven trees for every MAGFAST Pro Kit. To date, the sale of MAGFAST products has resulted in the planting of over 147,140 new trees, all of which are nearly native or naturalized to ensure the health of the natural ecosystems in the environments where they've been planted.

Trees for the Future assists individual farmers by identifying their needs and then providing them with tree species that improve the health of their ecosystems or present no threat to the local environment. These new trees help farming communities by diversifying farm crops and stabilizing and securing degraded lands. They also help farmers plant and manage sustainable forests from which they can draw additional sources of income. Trees for the Future give farmers full ownership of their trees, unlike other organizations that provide partial or no ownership. The organization also assists with training and support materials to help farmers convert neglected land into sustainable forests.

Through this partnership with Trees for the Future, MAGFAST is assisting rural farming communities, ensuring that these communities continue to thrive sustainably while creating healthy habitats for forest plants and animals. These sustainable forests also produce oxygen while absorbing carbon, enhancing the air quality of nearby communities and contributing to an overall greener world for future generations.
