With recable, you can get repairable, fair charging cables made in Germany for your smartphone. USB-A, USB-C, Micro-USB, Lightning (iPhone), we have them all!
vegan & cruelty-free recable should contain no animal products and is not tested on animals. This also applies to the packaging. BUT: Our cable manufacturer uses stearates as an additive. These are generally derived from plant or animal fats. Unfortunately, we cannot provide information about the origin of the stearates. recable is also RoHS certified. This EU directive prohibits certain toxic substances in electronics. Whether a substance is toxic is determined through tests. The substances covered by RoHS were tested a long time ago – most likely on animals. Can an animal test become outdated?
So the cables are vegan except for the cables which are unknown!? TBH I don’t think they should advertise it like this then.
Yeah, this part killed me. Especially that if they haven’t meantioned it I’d never think a cable could be not vegan… So kudos for telling us this, but how can you claim vegan-nes on the same breath?
Why are they talking about a cable manufacturer when they are also saying that they make the cables themselves, except for the actual heads, which they get from China.
26€ for a cable.
If it’s actually going to function for at least 10 years, the B might be worth it…
The charger looks very handy and has a competitive price, the cables are super expensive.
Nice idea though!
Charger is made in China, though. Still decent price and good form factor.
The whole Page doesn’t Sound very convincing. Advertising your product with RoHS and REACH compliance when you are legally obligated to fullfill these regulations.
Also “handcrafted cables”: What do you mean? You make each cable by Hand? That would be ridiculous and incredibly ineffective. Look at companies like LAPP Kabel who also operate in Germany to see how its done propperly.
It looks to me like someone is trying to ride the wave of EU alternatives and sustainability, but doesn’t actually have a suitable product.

made in chinaAh, yes. Well, I mean, it does clarify in the text:
Our cable is fairly produced in Germany, and the plugs come from fair production in China.
but then:
Our cable manufacturer uses stearates as an additive.
Which implies that they don’t manufacture the inner cable/wire and that they only assemble the plugs and wires together. Could do that myself for way cheaper. Except maybe the braided hose thing…
Only usb 2.0… meh…
The writing is bizarre, like a broken LLM, or a child learning English.
Well, it’s clear it’s translated from German, especially how “cable” means both the whole assembly and the inner wire+rubber.
Not to mention “recyclebar”
