Energy-Conserving Chargers

The Mushroom GreenZERO Ensures that No Electricity is Wasted

— January 24, 2013 — Eco
Many people don't realize that electricity continues to run through your adapters and power cords, even when appliances are not in use. The same goes for chargers left in sockets with no gadgets connected to the ends. The Mushroom GreenZERO makes a small but noble difference to your home and office energy consumption through its integration of an automatic "off" switch.

The charming fungus shape of the eco-friendly OSUNGO apparatus is capped by a bright lily pad. Near the meeting point of these two components is where the circuit is cut once your mobile phone is completely replenished with power. Since you can leave the Mushroom GreenZERO charger in the wall, the narrowing between the pair of pieces is also an ideal place to coil the cable of Xavier Houy's contraption for conveniently tidy storage.
Trend Themes
1. Energy-saving Technology - The integration of automatic 'off' switches in chargers reduces wasted electricity and promotes energy conservation.
2. Eco-friendly Design - The mushroom-shaped GreenZERO charger combines functionality with a charming and sustainable aesthetic.
3. Convenient Storage Solutions - The coiling feature of the Mushroom GreenZERO charger offers tidy and practical cable storage.
Industry Implications
1. Technology - The technology industry can benefit from implementing automatic 'off' switches in their chargers to reduce energy waste and meet the growing demand for eco-friendly products.
2. Consumer Electronics - Consumer electronics companies can capitalize on the eco-friendly design trend by offering chargers with innovative and sustainable features like the mushroom-shaped GreenZERO charger.
3. Home Organization - The coiling feature of the Mushroom GreenZERO charger presents an opportunity for the home organization industry to develop convenient and space-saving storage solutions for cables and chargers.
