MATERIALS WE USE
BAMBOO
Strong and flexible, bamboo provides our designs with a modern look rooted in a highly renewable and easily maintained natural resource. This fast-growing plant requires zero fertilizer or pesticides and self-regenerates from its own roots. Produced using a carbon positive process, bamboo offers a higher compressive strength than wood and a tensile strength that rivals steel. You can find bamboo as faceplates and back paneling for our speakers, durable turntable plinths, and housing accents for earbuds and headphones.
REWIND® FABRIC
Our Rewind® fabric is woven from a distinctive blend of 30% reclaimed organic cotton, 30% reclaimed hemp, and 40% recycled PET to create a stylish and high-quality textile. Versatile and durable, Rewind® fabric can be found throughout our line, including in our stash bags and to wrap our speakers and headphone bands.
*PET is short for polyethylene terephthalate, which is a form of polyester that can be found in items like plastic bottles.
REGRIND® SILICONE
Our Regrind® silicone is a uniquely crafted material made by reclaiming and upcycling post-process and post-consumer silicone scraps that would otherwise go to waste. You can find Regrind® silicone throughout our products, including our slipmats, the backing of our speakers, and protective bumpers for our wireless chargers.
FSC® CERTIFIED WOOD
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) certified forests are managed with strict standards and consideration towards the environment, guaranteeing that harvested trees will be replaced and regenerated naturally. FSC®-certified forests have earned their reputation for environmental credibility, protection, healthy forestry, social engagement, and the prevention of illegal forestation. FSC®-certified wood can be found in certain headphone and earbud casings and our Rewind® charging cords. FSC®N002016
RECYCLABLE ALUMINUM
Aluminum is a highly durable metal that is 100% recyclable. This material can be reused repeatedly without losing any of its innate quality, making it an excellent alternative to more harmful metals. Recyclable aluminum can be found in our turntable platters, headphone housings, and ear cups.
RECYCLED PLASTIC
Recycling plastic conserves natural resources, saves energy, and decreases pollution in air and water sources. We use recycled plastic in all speaker and headphone housings.
RECYCLED PAPER
As of 2020, we’ve been delivering our products in 100% recyclable plastic-free packaging fully constructed from paper fibers. Using recycled paper reduces the overall demand for harvested wood and the amount of paper that reaches landfills. Our entire packaging contents can be conveniently placed into the single mixed-paper recycle bin, eliminating the hassle of separating different materials.
RECYCLED METAL ALLOYS
Recyclable metal alloys can transform products into renewable resources in the years to come. Our dedication to using this material conserves natural elements, saves energy, and contributes to cleaner manufacturing, which results in less mining waste and water usage. Recyclable metal alloys are incorporated into our hardware through ear cups, buckles, sliders, and other embellishments.
WOOD COMPOSITE
Constructed by combining wood derivatives and plastic fibers, wood composite results in a more durable product. The compositing process demands far less energy than the lumbering industry. Wood composite is prominently featured as a durable and attractive design component in our speaker casings.
ORGANIC CORK
Renewable, biodegradable, and 100% natural, our organic cork is obtained through an environmentally friendly harvesting process that ensures the tree’s continued life. This innovative and earth-friendly material is used as a design element and throughout our production process.
STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless steel creates very minimal environmental impact and offers long-lasting durability. This material does not readily corrode, rust, or stain when exposed to water and is eventually 100% recyclable. You can find stainless steel in our headphone architecture and as joint fasteners.
NON-TOXIC SILICONE
Our ear tips and other components that have direct contact with skin are made from medical-grade non-toxic silicone. Non-toxic silicone helps to refute germs and is an excellent material to use as it can easily be regenerated into new forms and uses.
ORGANIC COTTON
Organic cotton is grown without chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or insecticides — all of which carry toxins that can harm the surrounding environment. Organic farming also requires significantly less water usage making organic cotton an ideal material for our products.
