They calculate how many steps we take per day, monitor our heart rate, measure the calories we burn in spinning class, monitor the quality of our sleep, remind us with a discreet buzz that we should drink more water… If smart bracelets encourage us to maintain a healthy lifestyle, why not to cultivate our environmental awareness?
Under this premise, at RAJA® we wanted to take a step forward in the fight for a cleaner and greener future. This is how 5R Smartband® was born , the EcoResponsible smart bracelet that is already being tested by all our employees and will soon be available to the general public within the RAJA® product catalogue.
5R Smartband is inspired by the 5-R’s to pack in a more EcoResponsible way. Do you remember them?
- Reduce the weight and size of packaging to the minimum necessary for packages to travel safely and securely.
- Reuse packaging whenever possible.
- Replace non-reusable or non-recyclable packaging with more EcoResponsible alternatives.
- Renew branded packaging by prioritising bio-based materials.
- Recycle as much as possible, encouraging selective collection and reuse of raw materials.
how does 5R Smartband® help you to take better care of your environment on a daily basis? Very easy! Here are the five features of our EcoResponsible smart bracelet that are causing the most furore among our team:

1.zero failures and forgetfulness when it comes to recycling

With the 5R Smartband®, you’ll soon be better known at your local recycling centre than at your favourite coffee shop. The EcoResponsible smart wristband keeps track of your recycling routines: it guides you when you separate your waste and tells you which bin to put each item in, so there’s no way to make a mistake!
But if you happen to throw away something you should recycle, the 5R Smartband® is relentless. You’ll get a stern public reprimand: the wristband will warn you of the amount of environmental damage you’ve caused and the number of trees you’ll need to plant to make up for your mistake.
2.the greenest route, straight to your smartphone

not sure which is the most sustainable way to get around? With 5R Smartband®, that’s no longer a problem. Just enter your origin and destination, and our smartband will calculate for you the most eco-friendly way to get from one place to another. In just a few seconds you can check it directly on your smartphone, using Google Maps or any other mapping application you use.
Among all the possible options, the 5R Smartband® has banished everything that emits greenhouse gases, opening you up to clean alternatives such as the electric tuk tuk, skis for snowy days or even a beautiful and docile donkey.
3.order picking in the 100% EcoResponsible warehouse

am I choosing too big a box? Have I overdone it with the tape? What’s better for the padding, kraft paper or coloured shavings? No more doubts during order preparation. With 5R Smartband®, just hold the wristband close to the items you want to pack and you will automatically have on the screen the list of materials you need and the right amount of each one to use. This way, you can do your bit to reduce the carbon footprint of packaging.
4.war on single-use plastics

We hope you don’t have the bad idea of organising a birthday party with single-use cups and plates, or drinking a soft drink or mojito with a plastic straw. As soon as the 5R Smartband® realises this, it will immediately spring into action, projecting before you images of the great Pacific rubbish island and beaches littered with filth from our bad head. It won’t take long for you to react and replace plastic tableware with traditional china and straws with reusable stainless steel straws.
5.a boost to lower your energy bill at home
the 5R Smartband® is also your best ally to save on your household bills. The RAJA® smartband is equipped with sensors that detect:

- Ifthe smartband notices that your home is as warm as a Benidorm beach at midday, it will alert you to turn down the thermostat and put on a dressing gown, or curl up on the sofa in a pyjama and your favourite blanket.
- That bad habit of not turning off the lights when you leave a room. If you go from one side of your house to the other leaving more lamps on than in the Royal Palace, 5R Smartband® will react by playing Christmas carols on a loop non-stop until you retrace your steps and darken the rooms you are not occupying. That is, at this time of year. In summer we plan to play songs by Georgie Dann.
And that’s not all! Our EcoResponsible 5R Smartband® can do much more for you and your ecological conscience! CLICK HERE and you’ll find out.
