pInstruments and the environment
pInstruments are serious about making music fun and accessible for all, but are also conscious and considerate of how their processes can affect the environment. Working hard to reduce their environmental impact, pInstruments can proudly announce they are completely carbon neutral - but that is not all.
Here is how pInstruments consider the "3 Rs" during all of their processes to further reduce their environmental impact.
REDUCE
- All instruments are made using ABS plastic, consuming fewer resources than the manufacture of traditional brass instruments.
- Every time pInstruments make an instrument out of plastic rather than brass, the amount of CO2 produced is reduced considerably.
- pInstruments is the first instrument manufacturer to offer only carbon-neutral musical instruments independently assessed by Carbon Footprint, the UK’s leading validator of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) and carbon emissions (CO2e).
REUSE
- The beauty of ABS is that any excess materials left over from the process can simply be melted down and re-used!
- pInstruments are virtually indestructible, but in the case of a broken instrument, they can provide many replacement parts.
- If you have an instrument you are no longer using, you can always pass it onto a friend! This reduces waste, and provides the added bonus of sharing and encouraging music making with others.
RECYCLE
- pInstruments are recyclable under group 7, and can be recycled at certain central locations or by recycling specialists.
- Contact your local recycling centre for advice.
