Swedish audio lifestyle imprint Urbanears introduces its new Boo and Boo Tip ergonomic wireless headphones. Both of the new models arrive in six colorway options. This includes "Charcoal Black, Almost Green, Slightly Blue, Dirty Tangerine, Cosmic Pink, and Raw." All of these are made from a sustainable mindset using 90% recycled plastic materials.
The company aims to work towards becoming entirely circular and carbon-neutral by 2030. To work towards this, Urbanears has changed its design and manufacturing process by excluding plastic used in the electrical components. The Boo model is made from 97% recycled plastic gathered from miscellaneous plastic waste including bottles and air conditioning units. The Boo Tip is made from 91% recycled materials and notably, the Raw colorway is actually recycled plastic without additional pigments.
