When designing our instruments we kept in mind the full product lifecycle from craddle to grave. This led us to use high quality 100% recycled plastic panels for the body and steel (which can be endlessly recycled) for the instrument chassis and tines. The product is made to wear in, not wear out.
In Saikne: KFX-1 we opted to use removable batteries (rechargable preferred) together with USB-C power supplies to greatly improve product longevity.
Our products are manufactured and assembled in the European Union, Latvia with ethical supply chains in place.
