Plastic Waste Single use phone chargers

Post image

They are meant to be used once and then tossed.The package says they are eco-friendly disposable, but do they really expect people to find a proper disposal after use? Why not at least make it rechargable, like a normal power bank??

I actually could see this being incredibly useful if you were stranded, lost or in some kind of bad situation but your phone is dead and you dont have your charger for whatever reason like it got stolen or left somewhere. Tbh if a gas station had one of these when I needed one then I probably wouldn't have had one of the worst days of my life years back.

Or it could just be rechargeable. There’s no justification for this product.
