At The USB Lighter Company, they consider the environment in all their products and packaging, in particular to promote a non-disposable lifestyle. Utilizing ARC technology derived from the tesla coil, their lighters eliminate the need for butane. Plus, they're meant to last forever, and can charge easily through a USB port. Their packaging is recyclable, and they are working to streamline all production and manufacture stages from sourcing to the customer. 

We choose this lighter for its innovative double arc technology that allows lighting a fire, barbeque, or candle without the use of petroleum based lighter fluid or butane. Because of its well-thought out design you can recharge the lighter at any USB port and each charge holds approximately 300 lights. The company thinks of the environment in all its product and package design, working towards a non-disposable economy. The packaging is recyclable, the lighters are designed to last a very long time. They heat their target very efficiently, and the plasma lighting technology is safer to use. There is no flame that could mistakenly scorch something else.
