CraftStrom designs affordable solar+battery systems that you can install yourself using only standard power outlets. No electrician and no permissions needed. Simple and elegant, yet safe. We need your help in preparing for mass production. To pre-order at truly special prices, click Back This Project, or read on about how we'd like to help you.

Unlike other solar + battery systems, every component was designed to work optimally within our product ecosystem, as we design in-house. The Smart Solar Panel works, through a patented process, in conjunction with our Smart Battery, using only standard power outlets and your WiFi.

As you produce solar electricity, it enters your home through the standard power outlet and is split up between any appliances using power and the home battery. You control how much is used immediately and how much is saved for later, using the CraftStrom App. Use your power when you need it!


Before we ever started designing these fantastic products, we asked ourselves: "How do we need to redesign solar and battery systems for them to be truly plug&play and would require no permission, yet be totally safe?"

We wanted a system that could be easily installed by just about anyone and require no electrician. Lastly, we felt that such a system should also be ultra-light and portable. Whether for use on-the-go, emergencies, or simply because roof space isn't available for most people that live in cities and rent, we knew we had to go to the drawing board.

We have spent the past 3 years talking to potential customers, working on multiple strategies, and designing our Smart Solar Panel + Battery to finally find the optimal solution for anyone interested in saving the environment and money.

If we can make solar energy a consumer electronic, it can spread as fast as the satellite dish has.
Or the window air conditioner. Or the smartphone. We are starting small with small kits, but as battery and solar prices come down, we will soon be able to cover more use cases.

Our mission is to make purchasing solar/storage as easy as purchasing any other consumer electronic.

If we look to the car, the smartphone, the window A/C unit — these devices spread like wildfire across the globe because they were off-the-shelf products that required no configuration but great benefits. Identical appliances were churned out at an industrial scale for a global audience. They were “plug n play”. Plug n play solar has been around for a while, but has never taken off (probably because behind-the-meter power is still sketchy and poorly understood). The potential for plug n play solar is huge — it could mean cheap, zero-configuration solar energy spreading to consumers at the pace of the smartphone, the car or air-conditioning.

Our first product is a revolutionary bluetooth speaker made from plastic trash that would otherwise end up in landfills or the oceans. 
We are based in Brighton, UK and are working towards preventing plastic waste ending up in landfill sites or being incinerated.

Every year the world throws aways 150 billion kilos of flexible plastic waste - such as plastic bags, bubble wrap, food wrapping and pallet wrapping. It’s currently not recycled, but burned worldwide, releasing poisonous toxins into the air. We hope to make an impact by repurposing the plastic waste into a more valuable cherished material.

Every piece we make is completely unique, with its own individual marble pattern. We can work with brands to make specific colour patterns to suit an existing product collection or create your own original colour range.

Types of plastic waste we work with:
Flexible PE - LDPE & HDPE
Such as plastic bags, bubble wrap, and pallet wrap.
PP
Such as yogurt pots, margarine containers and clear disposable cups.
PS
Such as plastic food boxes and plastic cutlery.

Mission
Our mission is to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles, by eliminating the final barrier of charge time and enabling electric vehicles to charge as fast as it takes to fill a tank of gas.

Our goal is to improve the Earth’s climate by reducing greenhouse gas emissions caused by internal combustion engines, so that we can deliver the planet to future generations in a better state than it is in now.

Impact
We're contributing to a healthier planet by helping to replace internal combustion engines with electric vehicles. 

Climate change is the biggest threat facing the future of humanity. The United Nations recently reported that greenhouse gas emissions have doubled since 1980, and that a primary cause is the burning of fossil fuels from internal combustion engines.

Technology
We're pioneering an AI-based technology capable of ultra-fast charging lithium-ion batteries without compromising cycle life, which is typically the issue when a battery is charged fast.

We have filed 45 patent applications, with 10 patents granted and 28 pending.

Panasonic Eneloop Batteries

Everything started with a backpacking-trip in Colorado. In the middle of the Roosevelt National Forest, we met Bill. He was a real Mountain States original and entertained us with stories of his adventures in the wild. His zest for life was equally contagious and inspiring and his love for the forests, rivers and mountains seemed boundless. We were on fire: Bill's connection to nature and its beauty made us realise, that being able to see the world through his eyes was a gift, a gift that everyone should be able to experience.

Bill left us with the question why a connection to nature and ecological awareness is continually getting lost. Why do we produce less natural, honest products? It was time for a change! We wanted to bring back the passion for and dedication to handmade and unique pieces to give everyone a personal piece of nature in our fast-paced society.

We, Sebastian & Sebastian, were two students for economics with no design skills, no IT skills and no craftwork skills. In short: not qualified at all for what we were attempting to do. Still we decided to take the risk and put all of our energy and love into this project. We wanted to create fair, nature-based products; products, that bloom with individuality in everyday usage and turn into indispensable and loved companions. Woodcessories was born!

In 2013 we started to create high-end charging docks made out of recycled ship wood and stunned the market with our first wooden innovation. It was an immediate hit and we realised quickly just how big the potential for sustainable Apple & Samsung pieces really was and we were convinced that our passion for nature would help us create even more individual accessories based on purely natural materials.

Today we manage to cover the entirety of the Apple product family to give each of you the opportunity to carry a piece of nature with you wherever you go. The minimalist style of our wooden accessories and the sleek aesthetic of the apple design creates a perfect symbiosis of pure elegance.

Antstand: Products for mobile productivity: Antstand is the ultraportable bamboo laptop stand. If you work remotely Antstand means you can be productive and comfortable wherever you are.

Antstand is designed to prevent neck and shoulder pain caused by prolonged laptop use. The minimal and unique design creates a sturdy support to raise the screen 8 inches and when flat packed it’s slim enough to fit inside the laptop sleeve.

Looking down on your laptop screen strains the neck and shoulders. The average head weighs about 10pounds (5kg), it is estimated that looking down onto your laptop screen multiplies the strain on the neck and shoulders by a factor of 6.

The Antstand reduces strain by raising your screen higher to allow a more upright position.

Antstand

We believe in people working together to help bridge the gap between our everyday modern needs, and those of the planet.

The Real Cost of Technology
Innovation isn’t slowing down. New tech products are introduced everyday. Meanwhile, the lifespan of your electronics is getting shorter, and the waste continues to pile up. We believe it’s our responsibility to counter this reality anyway we can.

One-for-One Tech Recovery Project
Imagine a world where all electronics makers offer end-of-life solutions for everything they produce. This idea led us to including a disposable bag with every product sold, so you could send back all your old or unused tech for safe, responsible reclamation, and close the loop on electronic waste.

Better Materials
80% of a product’s environmental impact is decided at the design stage. This is why we select only the best materials for the sake of durability, performance, and sustainability. Sky’s the limit for recycled plastic, organic hemp, recycled aluminum, plant-based bioplastic, and more. Sure, it’s not always the easy route. But, we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Plastic-Free Packaging
We know one of the most effective methods for any goods company to reduce waste starts with packaging. All our packaging is 100% plastic-free, made from recycled scrap paper with no harmful inks or dyes. Fully recyclable and biodegradable.

Honest Pricing
As consumers ourselves, we strive to offer the best products, using the best materials available, at prices that maximizes the value to you.

Enlightened Suppliers
We only work with suppliers who share our values on workers’ rights, sustainable materials, and reducing environmental impact. Our Supplier Code of Conduct summarizes our goals to ensure strict standards are always met.

Nimble - Sustainable materials

Couple of years ago Daniele and I (Clemens) meet at a local bar in our home town Graz, Austria. I noticed him because he was also drinking pina colada, a drink usually only girls would buy. I told him that and quickly after that we got into a pretty interesting conversation finding out we also share a passion for veganism and fair fashion.

Coincidence? I don’t think so.

Couple of days later we grabbed another drink or two (can’t remember exactly) and talked more about the fashion, especially leather industry and much potential for change it has.Starting as a joke Daniele suggested we should start our own premium watch label with eco friendly vegan straps. We laughed and continued the conversation.

DAN & MÉZ is based on strong values when it comes to ethics and sustainability. Our whole philosophy is to make a positive impact in the world. That means certain standards not only have to be to be met but also continuously challenged and improved to do so. Just because one meets certain criteria in order to obtain certain labels does not mean one is perfect. Those are just the bare minimum requirements one has to meet. There is also room for improvement and this is what we strive for.

Although we are confident about the status quo and everything we offer we are still working on new ways to improve our company and raise overall standards in the industry. Specifically when it comes to the materials we use, the way we assemble them as well as the overall impact we have on the planet. With that being said let us show what we do right now in order to do so.

Our watches are made in Germany because it is one of countries with the highest standards and conditions for employees. Every one gets paid a fair wage, has insurance and many rights to ensure overall great working conditions.

The watches are manufactured by our partner Malchert in Quedlinburg, Germany. A small manufacturing facility with tradition, passion and premium quality. We are very proud of our german craftsmanship.  

The straps by Rios, a company with over 80 years of experience. They are currently based in Augsburg, Germany.

100% Vegan Leather
Obviously products based on animals are neither ethical nor sustainable. We decided right away from the beginning that our whole company and all the products are going to be vegan. 

Currently we use Pinatex a leather based on recycled pineapple leaves for our watches. This benefits not only the animals but also the planet as well as local communities in the Philippines. Currently we are working on further alternatives including leather based on mushroom, grapes / wine, cork,  kombucha (yes kombucha) and wood.

Recycled Packaging
Although watches fortunately do not require much packaging we obviously decided not to use plastic. The boxes are made from cardboard and get shipped in climate neutral paper packages. 

Many people underestimate how much impact the packaging itself has on the environment, especially if it is not reused!

Currently we are working on more exclusive wooden cases that look even nice and are meant to keep a lifetime.
