In a world dominated by plastic tech,House of Marleyis bucking the trend by announcing a new range of wireless headphones and Bluetooth speakers made from sustainable materials.
These new devices are carefully crafted from consciously-harvested cork, recycled silicone and up-cycled fabrics made from hemp and recycled plastic bottles.
Announced atthis year’s CESthese products are not only pitched as being “sustainably crafted for superior sound” but are also being sold as part of theProject Marley platform.
This is a partnership withOne Tree Planted, a non-profit organisation that’s dedicated to reforestation and sustainability efforts worldwide. The result of this partnership is the promise that a percentage of each House of Marley product sold will be used to plant new trees and spread awareness of global forest restoration needs around the world.
House of Marley’s new products will also use 100 per cent recyclable packaging ensuring the company’s sustainable vision is maintained right through to the end without compromise.
House of Marley announced three products at CES - the No Bounds speaker, No Bounds Sport speaker and Uprise wireless headphones.
Uprise wireless headphones
The new Uprise wireless in-ear headphones are manufactured from recycled, non-toxic silicone and wood fibre composite resin. TheseBluetooth earphonesare intended as a pair ofhigh-quality workout headphoneswith a comfortable form-factor and a durable build quality that includesIPX5 weather resistanceto stand up to your sweat as you exercise.
The sustainable design and affordable price-point ($99.99) will also make them appealing, alongside the knowledge that you’ll be helping the company reach its reforestation goal with your purchase.
No Bounds speaker
Built using lightweight, recyclable cork, the No Bounds wireless speaker is said to be a rugged, dust and water-proof speaker with anIP67 ratingthat’s capable of delivering a superb sound with over 10 hours battery life.
