Essential Sound Products Thinks Green! Here's some examples of how we try to do our part to minimize waste and take care of the environment:

All MusicCord Professional and ESpecial series power cord assmeblies are RoHS compliant including the North American versions. For those who don't understand what 'RoHS' is all about, the European Union has established strict standards aimed at eliminating many potentially hazardous materials from use in the product or manufacturing processes. The objective is to prevent putting hazardous substances into the air we breath or landfills that could leak into ground water polluting drinking water supply. We believe that's a good policy to follow for all our products sold worldwide.

We also considered the environmental impact of our product packaging. We chose not to put our power cords in clear disposable plastic because after you purchase the product, that plastic packaging is just waste. Instead, we package our power cords in reuseable, waterproof, luggage-quality cloth bags. You may not use the bag for the cord. It makes for a great gear bag for musicians to carry all those small items you need with you when you go to a gig. Like our products, we expect the bags to provide many years of service, a real added value you get with your purchase. Our customers like the bags so much they have given us feedback that has lead to improvements like the wrist strap we added to the latest version. Also, we do not use Styrofoam peanuts or dunnage because it is not recyclable.

Lastly, all our products are shipped in cardboard boxes. Cardboard is a fully recyclable and biodegradable material. So recycle those shipping cartons!
