I am very much "into" sustainability, a manufactured component (no matter how small) represents an appreciable amount of embedded energy and to waste that embedded energy is a very bad thing, even worse is to bury it in landfill and subsequently poison our environment!
What is embedded energy?
Embedded energy is a measurement of the total energy that was used to create a component, a module or a complete piece of equipment originally and should include all processes used in the manufacture of the item, from obtaining the raw materials, processing them, making the product and then shipping to another manufacturer in the "chain" or being supplied directly to stores as a finished product for retail sale.
These are a bit nostalgic, being Radioshack product from over 25 years ago! Good quality, nothing startling but they do the job. These adapters do have the central Black plastic finger grip area but it is solid and showing no signs of degradation (splitting etc)
Radioshack USA (a.k.a Tandy) rebranded good quality electronic products years ago, often sourced from Japan although I cannot say where this adapter was made but UNLIKELY to be China!
