Turning sustainable design into real-world impact with the HDX series

From the very beginning, Nureva has been guided by a simple but powerful idea: People should be able to participate fully in a class or meeting no matter where they are.

Whether someone is working or learning from home or another location, or even traveling for business, we’ve built our products to ensure they can hear clearly what is being said in large and extra-large spaces without compromise.

While we have never set out to replace all in-person interactions — there will always be an essential place for getting together — our systems make remote connection viable with groups in rooms that previously felt too complex or too demanding for anything but physical presence. In that sense, sustainability and environmental responsibility have been part of our product definition from the start.

Placing sustainability in the spotlight

Over the last decade or so, sustainability has moved from a peripheral consideration to a central design requirement. Ten years ago, people were certainly positive about the concept, but it didn’t frequently rise to the level of an explicit, measurable priority.

That has changed dramatically.

Today, organizations expect credible environmental responsibility and increasingly ask detailed questions about materials, packaging, energy use and product longevity. Sustainability is no longer a nice-to-have — it’s a mandate.

When we released our HDL product line, the industry’s sustainability focus was still developing. And yet, when we look back, so many of our decisions aligned naturally with principles that have since become standard.

Over the years, we’ve made incremental but meaningful improvements: reducing and rethinking packaging, eliminating plastic where possible and minimizing box sizes to reduce the environmental impact of shipping. These adjustments reflect a mindset we’ve held from the start — design smart, build responsibly and keep improving and refining.

When the opportunity arose to create a new product line from the ground up, we knew we could go much further on the sustainability front. Designing HDX allowed us to embed sustainability directly into the product requirements document, not as an add-on but as a guiding principle from day one.

That early integration changed everything — materials, assembly choices, energy use, packaging … even the way the system operates when it’s sitting idle in a room.

Learning from industry leaders

A major accelerator in this journey was our engagement with Logitech. About 2 years ago, they extended an open invitation to companies in the collaboration industry, offering to share what they had learned on their own path toward sustainable product development.

It was an unusual and generous gesture, one that reflected their belief that the entire industry benefits when companies raise their sustainability ambitions together. Their team was open, candid and incredibly constructive. They shared openly about elements that make sustainability real rather than purely aspirational.

Logitech’s guidance also helped us confirm much of our thinking. That aspect alone saved us considerable time in the development cycle and allowed us to focus our energy on designing a system that meaningfully moved the industry forward — combining Nureva’s strengths in simplicity and performance with the most current thinking in sustainable product design.

Laying the foundation

The result is HDX — a product built intentionally, not retroactively, for a world that expects environmental responsibility. It represents our belief that sustainability and innovation are not competing priorities but complementary ones.

HDX is the next step in our sustainability story, but it is also a foundation. The big picture is not about one product or one design cycle — it’s about a long-term commitment to responsible innovation. And we’re just getting started.
