Green Plug Background

Green Plug's founder was the co-founder of the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) and he knows the results that are possible by aligning the interests of global manufacturers through standards. The company has identified a significant contributor to the high cost of battery-powered consumer electronics products, wasted energy and unnecessary toxic waste - and is doing something about it.

We are dedicated to the global proliferation of efficient power charging systems that utilize standardized power supplies, cables and connectors. A typical home or office has a dozen or more power transformers that convert between 90V and 254V wall power to device-specific DC power. Every adapter is physically unique and therefore is thrown away every time a device is replaced.

Green Plug has a better idea.

Green Plug^TM - compliant devices request power from universal power supplies that are capable of delivering device-specific power requirements. All Green Plug^TM-compliant devices utilize uniform cables and connectors; so, you never have to worry about finding the right adapter for your laptop, DV camera, cell phone or power tool. And, since Green Plug ^TM serves power to any device, you NEVER need to throw adapters away when you get a new laptop, cell phone or any battery-powered device.

The company sells embeddable power supply technology to consumer electronics, power tools and power supply manufacturers that:

• Provides universal and safe connections
• Is reusable and makes their products more affordable
• Eliminates waste - providing benefits from environmentally friendly marketing
• Generates customer loyalty

  This is definately an example of creating a need where there wasn't one before! Its a problem I never thought of but definately see the benefit! Fantastic idea, lets hope electronics companies adopt it or something like it...
