In 2024, we launched a redesigned charger packaging alternative across all our hearing aids brands globally, with the exception of charger packaging for one private-label customer. The project aimed to eliminate plastic content and reduce the packaging size to minimise material consumption. While we still use plastic bags to protect our products inside the package, both the inside and outside of the packaging itself is now plastic-free.

In collaboration with our largest supplier of plastic for our diagnostic equipment, some of the plastic we receive and use in our devices is from recycled sources. The recycled content in the plastic we use comes from waste generated during our supplier’s internal plastic production. We started using recycled plastic in 2014 and in 2024, we used 1.5 tonnes of recycled plastic. We plan to continue with this initiative in the future.
