Technomad Associates has announced it has introduced recycled plastic into its loudspeaker manufacturing process as part of the company’s developing green initiative in an effort to reduce waste.
We want to take advantage of the opportunity presented by our
manufacturing process to reduce waste,†said Rodger von Kries, vice president
of Technomad. “This also benefits our customers by allowing us to minimize
our manufacturing costs compared to using new plastic, a petroleum product that
is subject to cost increases along with rising oil prices.â€
The
switch to recycled plastic reduces waste without altering the manufacturing process or
lessening the rugged durability that is a hallmark of Technomad loudspeakers. The
recycled plastic is processed, dyed black for color conformity, and used
in the place of the new plastic formerly used for Technomad’s black loudspeaker cabinets.
