(April 30, 2025 - Washington, DC)- The Recycled Materials Association (ReMA) today announced
Skullcandy as the recipient of its first-ever Corporate Leadership & Innovation Award. Skullcandy, the original lifestyle audio brand, is being celebrated for their commitment to company-wide sustainable practices and recycling, as evident in their new
EcoBuds collection.
“Skullcandy exemplifies what happens when a company aligns its product design and corporate practices with its beliefs,” said ReMA President Robin Wiener. “By incorporating recycled materials into their products, Skullcandy is a leader in creating an everyday consumer product that also benefits the environment by protecting natural finite resources. We are proud to name Skullcandy the recipient of ReMA’s inaugural Corporate Leadership & Innovation Award. Congratulations.”
Skullcandy’s EcoBuds feature a battery-free charging case and recycled plastic construction — cutting their carbon footprint by 50% compared to similar wireless earbuds. Skullcandy also provides a wholesale refurbishment program for returned or damaged products.
Skullcandy donates a portion of its proceeds to nonprofit partners through its Music With a Mission initiative. These partners, To Write Love On Her Arms and Protect Our Winters, provide help in developing climate advocates, among other charities.
“For the development of the Skullcandy EcoBuds headphones, we took a look at how people use their earbuds and rethought the design to develop a product that has a 50% reduction in carbon footprint compared to from similar audio products on the market," said CEO of Skullcandy Brian Garofalow.
Skullcandy will be presented with the Corporate Leadership & Innovation Award on May 14, as part of the ReMA2025 convention in San Diego, CA.
