Anker's Charge to Sustainability
Reimagine
The Materials We Use
A New Vision for Materials
Sustainability isn't just a buzzword for us at Anker, it's a core belief. That's why we are lessening our dependence on petroleum-based plastics and finding eco-friendly alternatives. Our commitment to sustainability has led us to reimagine the materials we use, paving the way for a more responsible future.
What We Have Achieved
Less means more when it comes to our approach with materials. We aim to explore eco-friendly alternatives of petroleum-based plastics starting from 2022, with the first and second generations of our bio-based cables.
Anker 541 Cable (Bio-Based)
The cable's exterior is built by incorporating plant-based materials like corn and sugar cane, reducing petroleum consumption by 30-40% and carbon emissions by 20%.
Anker 541 Cable (Bio-Based Nylon)
46% of the outer coating and the connector casing is made of bio-based nylon to minimize petroleum-based plastic like TPE.
Our Path to
a Greener Future
Anker's Nano USB-C Lineup
is Now Greener
Our Anker Nano USB-C fast charging lineup just got eco-friendlier. By using up to 80% post-consumer recycled plastic in the exterior casing, we've lessened the impact of disposable plastics.
We've also reduced carbon emissions by 80%, as verified by ISO standards, in line with our commitment to creating products that are both environmentally conscious and high-performing.
Plastics in Packaging
We understand the growing public concern about single-use plastics. Therefore, Anker is determined to increase the use of post-consumer recycled plastic (PCR) in new packaging projects from 2023, with a vision of achieving zero plastic starting in 2027.
2023
Starting in 2023, we are stepping up our sustainability game with new packaging initiatives incorporating certified post-consumer recycled plastic (PCR).
2025
Starting in 2025, we are moving toward plastic-free packaging with our new mobile charging accessories, including cables, chargers, power banks, and hubs.
2027
Starting in 2027, we are charging ahead with a commitment to plastic-free packaging across all new Anker products.
Other Materials in Packaging
Anker will implement new projects in 2023 that adopt FSC-certified paper and soy ink while reducing foil stamping and eliminating spot UV.

Green Energy and Power Conservation
We believe in the power to promote economic development and improve lives through sustainable energy system. By designing accessible eco-friendly and energy-efficient products, we strive to overcome the challenges of non-renewable energy.
Renewable Energy Solutions
for Sustainability
Our goal is to develop renewable green energy technologies to replace traditional sources and tackle climate change. We are determined to bring clean energy into the lives of everyday homeowners, ensuring 24/7 power without sacrificing comfort or convenience.
Residential Solar Power Solutions
We offer a turnkey solution that has met every household's energy demands in Europe since Spring 2023. Our plug-and-power solar systems are designed for easy installation on balconies, front gardens, and other areas, allowing homeowners to create independent and sustainable home power systems while reducing carbon footprint.
Longest-Lasting Portable Power Stations
Energy Conservation
At its core, energy conservation involves making simple changes to reduce our usage and promote an eco-friendly lifestyle.
GaNPrimeâ¢
Anker's first-ever Hybrid Flyback (HFB) architecture in a charger, boasting 95% energy conversion efficiency to reduce energy loss by up to 21%. In 2022, this technology helped save a maximum of 1,201,538.32kWh of power globally.
(Data based on 2022 sales of GaNPrime⢠lineup vs. previous GaN materials, with an average of 8 hours of daily charger operation.)

Carbon Emissions Reduction
Between 2023 and 2025, Anker charging cables and Anker SOLIX portable power stations expect to reduce absolute kgCOâe per functional unit by 1% per year. It's part of our overall plan to continue a path toward sustainability.
Carbon-Neutral Products
With our carbon-neutral products certified by Carbon Trust in 2023, we are on track to offset 30,000 tons of COâ emissionsâequivalent to planting approximately 1,600,000 trees. To achieve this, Anker is funding a Biomass Cogeneration Project registered under the UNFCC's Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) program.
COâ Emissions Reduction
In 2022, we partnered with leading semiconductor manufacturers specializing in GaN technology to create a charging revolution. By switching to GaN materials instead of traditional silicone, we reduced carbon emissions by over 5,000 tons. And with GaNPrime's global shipment, we're powering a more sustainable future for all.
Anker has partnered with Oceana, the largest international advocacy organization dedicated solely to ocean conservation.
Anker is Oceanaâs Recharge Partner
Anker is thrilled to partner with Oceana. Our monetary and product donations will support Oceanaâs worldwide campaigns, including efforts to reduce plastic pollution and preserve important marine ecosystems.
