Mini Power – biodegrada­ble top-up charge pills

- £TBA bit.ly/minipower

What is it? There are plenty of mobilechar­ging solutions out there but designer Tsung Chih-Hsien has created a Red Dot Design Award-winning concept for a tiny cardboard capsule that powers up your iPhone. It’s called the Mini Power. You just choose how much battery time you need – two, four, or six hours – plug it in, then recycle it later. When’s it due? We don’t know yet, but watch this space Why are we excited? It’s a biodegrada­ble design, which not only makes the battery more environmen­tally friendly, but also saves on packaging. Since each Mini Power battery can just be broken off a perforated cardboard sheet, you could potentiall­y buy them in bulk that way.
