What if we told you that you could listen to your favorite music while taking care of the planet? Sounds good, right?
What exactly is eco-design?
Let's start with this: eco-design is much more than choosing recyclable packaging. It is an approach that consists of designing a product by minimizing its environmental impact at all stages of its life. From the selection of materials to production, to the end of the product's life, everything is designed to reduce waste, the carbon footprint and promote sustainability.
In the audio world, what does that mean?
This means thinking beyond just sonic performance. Yes, great sound is crucial, but it’s equally important to think about how our devices are made and what they’ll be like in a few years. Too often, products are designed to be quickly replaced, and that means a mountain of e-waste .
At A.bsolument, we have said "stop" to planned obsolescence. Our products are designed to last a lifetime .
PRODIGE: a model of eco-design.
PRODIGE is not just beautiful to look at or incredible to listen to . It embodies our values : sustainability , quality and responsibility .
With us, no cheap plastic.PRODIGE is made from recycled and local materials. The wood used comes from sustainably managed forests in France, and we favor local suppliers to reduce the carbon footprint linked to transport.
Unlike mass production, eachPRODIGE speaker is handmade in France . This choice is not only ethical, it also guarantees longevity and superior quality. We believe that a well-designed product should not end up in the landfill after a few years of use.
One of the great scourges of the electronics industry is the impossibility of repairing products . How many times have you had to throw away a device because of a defective part that cannot be replaced? At A.bsolument, we have designedPRODIGE to be 100% repairable . A broken component? No need to throw everything away, just change it!

Why is it important?
The electronics industry is one of the most polluting in the world. The production of materials, the massive use of plastic and the management of electronic waste represent a burden on our planet .
Choosing eco-designed products means actively participating in reducing this impact. You choose to invest in a product that respects the environment and that will not end up in the trash in two years.
A future where eco-responsibility is the norm.
We firmly believe that the future of audio and more broadly of all sectors lies in eco-design. Every choice counts, and we are proud to say that with PRODIGE, we are among those who act.
So, are you ready to make the ethical sound choice?
