Strumming Sustainability: Eco-Friendly Guitar Accessories Making a Difference

In the world of music, where creativity meets craftsmanship, there’s a growing harmony between innovation and environmental responsibility. From the bustling streets of Brazil to the heart of North Dallas, two brands are leading the charge towards a more eco-conscious approach to guitar accessories: EcoStrap and Lizard Spit.

EcoStrap: Strapping Sustainability into Music
In 2019, Basso Straps, a Brazilian company with nearly two decades of expertise in crafting accessories for musical instruments, introduced the world to EcoStrap. It was not just another guitar strap; it was a statement of sustainability. Crafted from a non-animal laminated synthetic material, the Vegan Premium strap offered a cruelty-free alternative to traditional leather, without compromising on quality or style.

The ethos behind EcoStrap is deeply rooted in the Three Pillars of Sustainability: environmental, social, and economic. By incorporating these principles into their manufacturing processes, EcoStrap not only minimizes their environmental footprint but also supports the local economy and promotes social responsibility within the industry.

What sets EcoStrap apart is its commitment to continuous improvement. With each new release, they push the boundaries of eco-friendly innovation, exploring new materials and designs to offer musicians a range of stylish and sustainable options. From vibrant colors to sleek designs, EcoStrap proves that sustainability can be both functional and fashionable.

Lizard Spit: Nurturing Instruments, Nurturing Nature
Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, in the vibrant musical landscape of North Dallas, Lizard Spit has been quietly revolutionizing instrument care since 1998. Founded by Owner/Chemist/CEO Chris W, Lizard Spit is more than just a brand; it’s a testament to passion and dedication.

The Lizard Spit range of instrument care products is a testament to Chris W’s commitment to quality and sustainability. From Guitar Polish to Microphone Sanitizer, each product is meticulously crafted with the environment in mind. By utilizing eco-friendly ingredients and sustainable packaging, Lizard Spit not only protects instruments but also preserves the planet for future generations.

The secret to Lizard Spit’s success lies in its simplicity: better for the environment, better for your instruments, and proudly made in the USA. This mantra resonates with musicians worldwide, who seek products that not only enhance performance but also align with their values of sustainability and responsibility.

 

The Intersection of Innovation and Sustainability
As musicians, we have a unique opportunity to shape the future of our industry. By supporting brands like EcoStrap and Lizard Spit, we can make a positive impact on the planet while enjoying the music we love.

Whether it’s strapping on an EcoStrap before hitting the stage or giving your guitar a loving polish with Lizard Spit, every small choice we make can contribute to a more sustainable future. Explore the full range of products from each of these brands below.

Aquila Kids Ukulele Strings

Aquila Corde Armoniche has always believed in the commitment to social enterprise and we continue to do it every day in various fields, in volunteering and respecting the environment.

We have been the first string making company in the world to introduce two types of nylon strings derived, one partially the other totally, from vegetables.
This is our small contribution for leaving a better world to next generations.

We limited waste by removing, where possible, plastic from our packaging, reducing its use to the minimum. Our commitment is not only towards the environment but also towards society and above all towards the musical education of young generations.

Because music unites and generates responsible and positive human beings. So it was a natural step for us to create a set for Ukulele called “kids”. This is a set dedicated to the education of children using colours as notes according to an international educational criterion in force since the 1960s. “Kids” by Aquila Corde Armoniche, a colourful discovery designed for tomorrow ukulele players.
