The home audio industry is experiencing significant growth. In 2021, its global value exceeded $25 billion, with forecasts indicating an annual increase of around 10% until 2030 ( GM Insights ). This expansion is fueled by the growing popularity of music streaming services and the increased demand for wireless speakers.
However, this growth is accompanied by major environmental challenges. In 2022, the world generated 62 million tons of electronic waste, a figure that is constantly increasing ( EPALE ). Unfortunately, only 17.4% of this waste was collected and recycled ( World Health Organization ). This situation highlights the urgency of rethinking the design and consumption of electronic devices.
By adopting sustainable design practices and prioritizing repairable and upgradeable products, the home audio industry can meet consumer expectations while reducing its environmental impact. This approach is essential to ensuring a sustainable and responsible future.
It is with this in mind that A.bsolument has developed the PRODIGE speaker. Made in France from recycled materials, it is designed to be repairable and upgradeable, thus offering a sustainable alternative to traditional audio products. By integrating high-quality Focal® speakers, PRODIGE combines exceptional sound performance and ecological commitment. In addition, its timeless design, inspired by iconic radios from the 60s, earned it the Red Dot Design Award in 2023. By choosing PRODIGE, consumers support a company that places sustainability and social responsibility at the heart of its values.
