6. ProjectThe Transparent Speaker is fullycommitted to sustainability andcoherent with this vision, achievedthrough careful examination of everystage of the life cycle. This is true of theaspects of the product that are visibleto the client as well as those behind thescenes. The speakers are designed forrepairability, durability, updateabilityand recyclability. The manufacturingprocess also reflects these values.The aim of this project was to create aspeaker that could last a lifetime whileoffering excellent sound quality. Thespeaker is repairable and upgradeablethanks to its modular design.This modularity also allows forreplacement of parts in case of atechnical standard shift. This allowsfor more flexibility for the user toupdate the product and fights plannedobsolescence. This adaptability has notonly been good from a sustainabilityperspective but also from a businessone, as the product has lasted throughtechnological change and probably alsowill in the future.Its success is in big part also due to theexcellent sound quality they provide.From the beginning they designedfor this in mind although the musiccompression standard then offered lowbitrates and thus lower quality than iscurrently available. Their investment incomponents of a higher range provedworth it as music streaming now offersbetter quality.polluting of the transportation means. Theenvironmental cost of shipping has alsobeen a large focus for Transparent Soundwhich has brought them to make decisionssuch as reducing the packaging to onlyone used for both shipping and as the finalpackaging. Once the product is sold it isthen shipped by road to their consumers inEurope using the same box.Transparent Sound is open to criticismwhile being very critical with themselves.They continue to develop all aspects ofthe project to become as sustainable aspossible. They are excited to see what thefuture has to offer in terms of technologythat will allow them to further improvetheir sustainability commitment, such asrobotics that could allow them to take theproduction to Sweden, thus minimisingtheir transportation environmental cost. Itis their plan in the next five years to createa take-back scheme. Currently, that is notfeasible due to their scale and productionvolume. Their first attempt at closingthe loop has been to develop a limitededitionrange of speakers handmade byartisans using recuperated materials fromproduction called “Upcrafted”.This product demonstrates thatsustainability does not have to be atodds with the rest of the product’scharacteristics, and that the transparencyand clarity of a product like this can be veryattractive for consumers.KEYWORDS: Repairability, workingconditions, evolution, take-back scheme.The speakers are manufactured inChina under fair working conditions,reviewed by the designers themselves.Their recent move of warehouse fromthe UK to Sweden enables the productto be shipped from the factory to thewarehouse by train, which is least47
