Upgrading the Equipment: Products & Packaging
Reducing Our Products’ Impacts
As one of the world’s top gaming accessory providers, most of our environmental impacts are associated with products we sell. We want to continue
our robust history of innovation by improving the sustainability of our products while maintaining the industry-leading quality that has always set
them apart. By reducing the environmental impacts of our products and their packaging, we help ensure our customers can make a sustainable choice,
our employees can know they are working for a sustainably conscious company, and our stockholders can rest assured that we will continue to create
shareholder value.
Eco-Design of Products
Our product design and management teams account for product sustainability in their designs. One way we’ve made our products more sustainable is
integrating post-consumer recycled plastics (“PCRs”) into the design. PCR plastics are made from plastic that has been repurposed from items that
are no longer used. PCR plastics are a sustainable alternative to using virgin plastic materials because:
- PCRs are estimated to be up to 60% more carbon efficient than traditional plastics; and
- Waste otherwise created from the use of traditional plastics is eliminated.
In 2024, we began using PCRs in our products. Several plastic parts of the Stealth 600 Gen 3 Wireless headset, including the speaker plates and
covers, are made from PCR plastics.
Over the course of 2025, our Stealth 600 Gen 3 headsets incorporated approximately 39,616 kg of PCR plastics.
Reducing Hazardous Substances
Our products are regulated by laws including: the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), the Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE)
regulation, the European Union Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), the European Union Directive on
Packaging and Packaging Waste (94/62/EC), and California Proposition 65. As may be required, our products are marked with required regulatory labels and
safe use information.

Smaller Box – Happier Planet
In 2024, we began using PCRs in our products. Several plastic parts of the Stealth 600 Gen 3 Wireless headset, including the speaker plates and
covers, are made from PCR plastics.
Over the course of 2025, our Stealth 600 Gen 3 headsets incorporated approximately 39,616 kg of PCR plastics.
Eliminating Single-Use Plastics
We have been reducing or eliminating single-use plastics from our packaging since 2015 and have effectively eliminated most
plastics from our packaging. Notable examples include replacing plastic blister packages with paper-pulp trays holding the product and
eliminating plastic hang tags and plastic bags and twist ties that hold cables. Minimal plastic packaging materials remain where we have not
found a solution that ensures delivery of a quality product to our customers, but we are continuing to research innovative ways to reduce and
eliminate plastic use where applicable.
As part of our ongoing efforts, plastic use in the packaging of certain headset models was reduced by 90%. For example, we reduced
the plastic use in packaging of our 600X Gen 2 model by 88% (by weight) compared to our 600X Gen 1 model. In the packaging of some other models, we
reduced plastic use by 87%-96% (by weight). In 2024, we replaced plastic bags used to protect new headsets during shipment with compostable
materials, supporting a more sustainable approach while ensuring product integrity.
Responsibly Sourced Packaging
Not all packaging can be reduced or eliminated, so we are working to ensure that what remains is responsibly sourced. The Forest Stewardship
Council (FSC) is a global, not-for-profit organization that works to promote responsible management of forests worldwide. FSC-certified
packaging from renewable materials helps us ensure that our paper packaging materials are sourced from sustainably managed forests. In 2022, we
worked with our suppliers to begin transitioning our product packaging to FSC-certified paper.
In 2025, we replaced an estimated 712,500 kg of pulp packaging with FSC-certified paper in the majority of Turtle Beach headset models.
Respawn! - Responsible Recycling and Refurbished Gear
We know there will come a time when you want to upgrade to the next level. We encourage end-of-life stewardship for our products and support our
retail and distributing partners’ recycling programs. The separate collection and recycling of our products at the time of disposal will
help conserve natural resources and ensure that they are recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. For more information
about how you can help support proper recycling of our products and where you can drop off your old products for recycling, please contact your
local authority or the store where you purchased your product.
In addition to supporting responsible recycling of our products, we support resource responsibility and waste reduction through our refurbished
product program. Through this program, we refurbish returned products so they can continue to help our customers play at their best level, rather
than sit in landfills.
