CORDIAL ECOHEMP-6PP-SIL
Until now, PVC has generally been used to wrap cables. However, PVC is a rather controversial substance, as certain components prevent the material from being recycled without problems.
The new ECOCORD cable range from CORDIAL adopts an alternative to PVC, known as TPE-V.
This material is recyclable, energy-efficient and poses no recycling problems. What's more, it's lighter than PVC and offers similar advantages in terms of flexibility and notch resistance.
As the first product series in the ECOCORD range, CORDIAL presents ECOHEMP instrument cables. These textile-sheathed cables feature a braid made from 100% recyclable, sustainable hemp fibers, in a matte green/brown hue. What's more, this textile sheath material is GOTS-certified, i.e. the fabrics are made from organically produced natural fibers and the production process complies with extensive social and ecological standards.
For musicians and technicians, the decisive factor is, among other things, the long-term resistance of this type of innovative product (pressure, temperature, UV rays, wear/abrasion, dirt/liquids). The independent inspection body DTNW Öffentliche Prüfstelle GmbH was commissioned by CORDIAL to simulate over two years' ageing of the ECOHEMP envelope material under laboratory conditions. The experts tested the material concerned in various test scenarios and, in conclusion, issued the intended certificate concerning the resilience of the hemp fabric cladding.
To compensate for the copper and similar materials used for the plugs, we have entered into a cooperation with the world-renowned non-profit organization "Trees For The Future (TREES)", under which one tree will be planted in sub-Saharan Africa for every ECOHEMP cable sold.
The labels on ECOHEMP products are made from recycled gray cardboard (FSC® Mix), which sets these cables apart from other CORDIAL packaging. The complete production of all ECOCORD/ECOHEMP products boasts "Made in Europe" to keep supply lines as short as possible and thus minimize the CO² footprint.
ECOHEMP cables are available in the usual 3 and 6 meter versions. The cable interior meets the highest technical standards. The double shielding of copper braid and conductive plastic minimizes so-called "microphonic" effects, and the 0.50 mm² conductor cross-section ensures particularly clear signal transmission. All in all, our ECOHEMP series represents an innovative synthesis that symbolizes the signs of our times.
