Verizon Embraces the Nimble Mission
In 2018, Nimble was founded on the bold idea that personal tech could be made better for the planet.
We challenged our industry to use more sustainable materials and 100% plastic-free packaging, while advocating for action around electronic waste recycling. Since then, a notable shift occurred.
For the first time, big name consumer tech brands are waking up.
Yet, true progress requires the will of our nation’s biggest electronics retailers.
Which retailer would step up and embrace better product design? Champion plastic-free packaging? Help close the loop on e-waste?
Enter Verizon.
Over the years, the #1 wireless carrier in the United States mobilized its business and resources to further build a more sustainable ecosystem.
Our decision to team up with Verizon and spearhead its new initiative to offer low-impact alternatives to everyday personal tech comes on the heels of their ongoing efforts.
