YEVO Labs introduced a pair of bluetooth headphones recycled from guns at the electronics industry’s biggest trade show last week.
The Swedish company partnered with Humanium Metal to redesign its flagship headphones — the YEVO 1 — with accents of the former guns, including fashioning a charging case from the recycled metal.
“In a way, this is the most valuable material in the world,” Andreas Vural, YEVO’s founder and president, told CNET. “It’s a firearm that may have taken someone’s life.”
Vural premiered the headphones at CES, former the International Consumer Electronics Show, in Las Vegas last week. Half of the product’s proceeds will support “victims and projects aiming to rebuild conflict-torn societies affected by illegal weapon violence.”
“Creating YEVO x Humanium Metal, a product that elicits change in such a positive way is the greatest reward,” Vural said. “This collaboration is bigger than headphones. It’s part of a global movement that removes illegal firearms from the streets and recycles them into a material that helps move us towards a more peaceful future, all while giving back to those affected by violent crime.”
