In a world increasingly focused on sustainability, every small step counts, especially regarding the products we rely on daily. At Beltone, we believe that caring for the planet is just as important as caring for your hearing. That’s why we’ve made meaningful strides to ensure that our packaging is as thoughtful and responsible as its technology.

Why Recyclable Packaging Matters

Traditional packaging materials—like single-use plastics and multi-layered composites—often end up in landfills or oceans, taking hundreds of years to break down. For industries like ours, where products are frequently shipped, unpackaged, and replaced, the environmental footprint can grow quickly if not addressed thoughtfully.

Recyclable packaging helps combat this. By using materials that can be processed and reused, we reduce waste, lower carbon emissions, and minimize our impact on the environment—all while delivering high-quality hearing solutions to our customers.

Our Commitment to Sustainable Solutions

At Beltone, we’ve transitioned to:

Recyclable cardboard boxes made from post-consumer materials
Paper-based protective inserts instead of plastic foam
FSC-certified paper, with 47% reduced CO2 emissions
Minimalist design to reduce excess material without compromising protection

These changes may seem small, but their collective impact is powerful. Every recyclable box means less landfill waste. Every plastic-free insert is one fewer item polluting our waterways.

Innovation with a Conscience

We don’t just want to help you hear better—we want to make sure the world you hear remains beautiful for generations to come. That’s why we’re constantly exploring new ways to make our packaging smarter, lighter, and greener. By choosing Beltone, you’re not just investing in your hearing health. You’re supporting a future where innovation and sustainability go hand in hand.
