Truth be told, as a young start-up we could not afford to be Cradle-to-Cradle certified. But, we followed the principles to design our product to be environmentally responsible. If you look next to the USB C plug, you can see that there is a screw that enables professionals to fully dismantle the cap and separate its components so that they can be reused or recycled. Watch out, once open the warranty is void.

REBO’s smart caps come with a rechargeable lithium battery and have an integrated USB C port to make charging easy. We chose REACH and RoHS certified lithium batteries because they are the longest-lasting battery, and the most sustainable option we could find.
Depending on the frequency of its use the battery will last on average 2 weeks. We are working on optimizing battery life in order to make it even more long lasting.
It will take roughly 2 hours in order to fully recharge your smart cap
We use time-of-flight technology. An infrared laser, harmless to the human eye, sends a light signal that hits the liquid and then returns to the sensor. The time it takes to bounce back is measured, recording changes in water levels. We do this over 10 seconds in order to get multiple measurements, make an average, and send them to the app. This is why it is important to leave your REBO vertically on a flat surface for 10 seconds, this enables REBO to get an accurate reading.
