REDEFINING PREMIUM

 

To maintain the premium look and feel of the brand, Beats needed materials that conveyed quality without sacrificing the environment. This is why we chose ESKA black, a paperboard made from at least 70% recycled material. Similarly, the rest of the paperboard in the packaging is either entirely recycled, or sourced from responsibly managed forests. A first for any Beats product.
