Our

SUSTAINABILITY

Durable Design​

We’ve carefully selected all materials that make our product. Two aluminum faceplates ensure the rigidity and durability of our keyboard and the Cherry MX mechanical switches are rated for up to 100 million clicks and good for years upon years of use. When or if a switch fails, it can be easily replaced, thanks to the hot-swappable design. Similarly, our Makalu 67 mouse features a durable rigid design that is constructed with high-quality switches and best-in-class sensor. We know that lesser quality products break more often, requiring more replacements to be produced, more plastic wrapping to ship out those replacements, and more wastage when faulty parts are eventually disposed of. Needless to say, that’s not exactly ideal for you either.

MINIMIZING OUR IMPACT

Ocean plastic is a global crisis, with the equivalent of one dump truck load every minute entering the world’s oceans.¹ At the same time, many communities affected by plastic pollution face high levels of poverty. Something that’s close to our hearts is our carbon footprint, so minimizing the environmental impact of the production and distribution of each MOUNTAIN product plays a large part in our design philosophy.

RECYCLING AND RECYCLABILITY

We’ve avoided using plastic materials as much as possible in our packaging, however, the plastic we use will be 100% recyclable. While we can’t go without packaging entirely, we created storage solutions that you can use to store accessories, bits or pieces after you removed your new MOUNTAIN product from it. This is to give it a second life as useful object on your shelf, rather than going to waste.

Social Responsibility

MOUNTAIN has committed to supporting Plastic Bank®’s Impact Program. Plastic Bank stops ocean plastic while improving lives in impoverished coastal communities. Collectors receive a premium for the materials they collect which helps them provide basic family necessities such as groceries, cooking fuel, school tuition, and health insurance.

ACHIEVEMENTS & GOALS​

Together with Plastic Bank, MOUNTAIN has supported collectors in vulnerable coastal communities in preventing 25,000 kg of plastic from entering the ocean in 2020 alone. Going forward, MOUNTAIN will help prevent over 115,000 kg of plastic from entering the ocean – the equivalent of 5.75 million single-use plastic bottles. By purchasing MOUNTAIN products, you help prevent ocean-bound plastic.
