Working with schools and partners, Cyber Acoustics continues to deliver on its promise to keep plastics and metals from landfills with the simplest headset recycling program in the industry
Cyber Acoustics Wired Headphone and Headset Recycling Program
VANCOUVER, Wash., April 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cyber Acoustics, the company behind the industry’s first, and only, largescale headphone and headset recycling program, today announced its continued commitment to sustainability and doing its part to help the planet. Following the launch of its wired headphone and headset recycling program in August 2021, Cyber Acoustics has delivered nearly 800 pounds of material to be reprocessed and recycled responsibly by R2 certified recyclers. The program continues to grow in popularity and the company aims to have an even greater positive impact on the environment.
Cyber Acoustics makes it as easy as possible for schools and businesses to recycle
As evidence of its commitment to sustainability, Cyber Acoustics takes wired headsets and headphones from any brand and reprocesses them responsibly, keeping plastics and metals from ending up in landfills, with no costs incurred by program participants. Simply register on the site and Cyber Acoustics sends a collection box. Once full, close it up, attach the pre-paid shipping label, and Cyber Acoustics takes care of the rest.
“In the months since launching our recycling initiative, other manufacturers have started to promote similar programs,” said Steve Erickson, COO at Cyber Acoustics. “We are extremely encouraged by this as it’s crucial that we all recognize the role we play in protecting our planet. No matter which manufacturer you choose to work with, the important thing is that the products are being recycled, but what sets our program apart is a focus on simplicity for participants. We make it as easy as possible so that there’s no good reason not to responsibly dispose of products they no longer need.”
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the benefits of sustainable materials management include conserving resources, reducing waste, slowing climate change, and minimizing the environmental impacts of the materials we use. Cyber Acoustics is deeply committed to doing its part to help the planet through a sustainability program that reduces its own global footprint while also helping others reduce theirs.
What our partners are saying about our recycling and sustainability program
“We teach our students the importance of considering the entire lifecycle of electronics and what happens to those devices when they reach the end of life,” said Ray Nelson, ITS3 instructor/building technology coordinator at Cascadia Technical Academy. “The Cyber Acoustics headset recycling program made it easy to set up a headset collection box, and aligns with our program’s emphasis on educating our students about the importance of recycling e-waste to keep it out of landfills.”
