House of Marley Shows the Way With 100% Recyclable Packaging

How many times we have seen displays full of the cheapest headphones, all wrapped in rigid plastic blisters that go straight into the trash? House of Marley once again leads by example with the launch of their Smile Jamaica Wireless 2 earbuds and the move to 100% recyclable paper fiber packaging. The entire package contents can now be put into the single mixed-paper recycle bin without the need to separate different materials, a common issue when it comes to the recycling process.

Genelec is now offering the option of a special RAW aluminum color finish, available on a selection of the most popular speakers in its Studio, AV and Home Audio ranges. The RAW versions use only recycled aluminum, require no painting and less finishing material than standard painted models – creating an even more environmentally friendly loudspeaker that allows the natural beauty of the enclosure’s raw material to shine through, giving each individual loudspeaker a unique look and feel.

House of Marley launched a greener alternative to existing true wireless earbuds and the second generation TWS design from the brand, now adding active noise cancellation (ANC). The new Redemption ANC are also being released to commemorate Bob Marley’s 75th Birthday and House of Marley’s 10th anniversary. A follow up to Marley's Liberate Air earbuds, the new Redemption ANC are similar in their use of eco-conscious materials which includes bamboo, natural wood fiber composite from sawdust and recycled silicone. And they look great.
