At Solid State Logic, environmental responsibility is central to our innovation in audio technology. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and supporting a low-carbon future through practical, sustainable initiatives. These include the use of pulp-moulded and recycled packaging, and the integration of Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) aluminium and plastics in key products. We've implemented energy-efficient power-saving modes across our product range to cut energy use during idle periods. Together, these actions reflect SSL’s commitment to sustainable design and responsible manufacturing.
Solid State Logic was the first member of the Audiotonix group to introduce a cardboard compactor to streamline recycling efforts and minimise landfill waste. To reduce our reliance on non-renewable energy, we also invested in solar panels, which now provide a significant portion of our facility’s electricity. Additionally, we have created a wildflower meadow to support pollinators and enhance local biodiversity. This is complemented by the installation of bird and owl boxes to provide safe nesting habitats for native species. These actions reflect our approach to environmental stewardship and our commitment to fostering a more sustainable future.
Solid State Logic is committed to improving the sustainability of our packaging through thoughtful design and material choices. By standardising the dimensions of key products—including the Harrison 32C, SSL 18, Alpha 8, Revival, and Super 9K, we have streamlined our packaging requirements.
We developed bespoke pulp tooling for our SSL 2, to replace traditional foam packaging. In collaboration with our suppliers, we have transitioned foam-based packaging, to 50% recycled PE foam. Additionally, we are minimising printed materials by placing essential documentation directly onto product boxes, further reducing waste.
Solid State Logic is dedicated to responsible material sourcing and reducing the environmental impact of our products through the use of recycled and sustainable materials.
High-volume products such as the SSL 18, Alpha 8, Revival, and Super 9K incorporate Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Aluminium 5052-H32, which contains a minimum of 80% recycled content, significantly lowering the carbon footprint associated with raw material extraction and processing.
Wherever feasible, we also specify PCR plastics in our designs. For example, the SSL 2 chassis is manufactured using PCR plastic, and many moulded components across our product range are targeted for PCR material integration. These choices reflect our ongoing effort to embed circular economy principles into our design and manufacturing processes.
As part of our commitment to energy efficiency and sustainable product design, Solid State Logic has implemented advanced power-saving modes across a range of our products. These features are designed to reduce energy consumption during periods of inactivity without compromising performance.
Our Origin console includes an Auto Sleep mode that reduces power usage from under 900 watts during operation to less than 40 watts in standby. Similarly, the Puredrive operates between 27–45 watts in typical use, dropping to as low as 4.8 watts in Auto Sleep mode. The BUS+ features both Auto Sleep and Deep Sleep options, reducing power draw from under 38 watts during use to just 10 watts in Auto and less than 1 watt in Deep Sleep.
The System T platform incorporates multiple hibernation modes that can cut power consumption by up to 25%. Additionally, our upcoming O-Series products will include both auto-sleep and hibernation functionality to further enhance energy efficiency. These power management innovations reflect SSL’s proactive approach to reducing the environmental impact of our technologies.
