The limited-edition Skullcandy Transparency Series were created to make an environmental impact and reduce carbon. Skullcandy is working in partnership with EcoChain to assess, minimize and publish associated carbon emissions and establish the baseline for future carbon reduction, and its partnership with TerraPass means that Skullcandy is investing in certified carbon-capture programs to offset impacts for products with a net-zero footprint in the Transparency Series.
Nelson Fortier, Senior Director of Brand and Product Marketing, Skullcandy, says "The Transparency Series serves as a platform to educate and empower our consumers, while raising awareness for environmental responsibility." The stylish earbuds are packaged in 100% recyclable packaging. The Skullcandy Transparency Series Hesh Evo Wireless Headphones, for example, contain a carbon emissions equivalent of 12.14 kg (neutralized via carbon offset credits.)
