This loudspeaker is made from recycled plastic
With Earth Day coming up this weekend, I wanted to find examples of AV companies that are incorporating environmentally sustainable practices into their business models. I was fortunate enough to speak with @Gareth Coleman at Omega Pro Audio, whose company manufactures an outdoor speaker box that is made from 92% recycled plastic. We talked about the process to build these speakers and where the idea came from in the video below.
The last line of the video goes fast, but I hope you didn't miss it – these speakers can be recycled at the end of their lifespan and used again. Add in the fact that the cost is no different than plywood and I hope that this is a procurement and disposal model that can be replicated elsewhere in Pro AV.
Many thanks to Gareth for his time - please reach out to him if you'd like to learn more!
