Case Study: Skullcandy reduces headphone environmental impact with Ecochain

Skullcandy cuts packaging by 20% with Ecochain

Skullcandy, an audio lifestyle brand, wanted to reduce the environmental impact of its products and fight climate change but did not know where to start. They partnered with Ecochain and used its product footprint solution, Mobius, to perform Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) to measure their impact and identify its primary sources.

Ecochain’s solution provided Skullcandy with crucial impact hotspots, revealing that batteries and electrical components were the biggest contributors to their products' carbon footprints. This data allowed Skullcandy to implement changes like using smaller batteries, seeking sustainable alternatives for components, and making their packaging 100% recyclable. As a result of their recycling program, they have kept over 525,000 pounds of waste out of landfills, putting them halfway to their goal of 1 million pounds by 2025.
