What's behind all this?

Although it might not look like it at first glance, all Pigtrum picks are made of renewable, plant-derived raw material. Basically, they are plastic plectrums without any conventional plastic.

You can choose between three fabulous designs, each in three gorgeous colours. In addition, each pick is available in two different materials:

• Super Eco is harder and more resistant to abrasion than wooden picks and it has a differentiated, overtone-rich sound. Additionally, it is biodegradable, so you can simply throw away this environmentally friendly alternative with your organic waste after it eventually wears down.
• Extra Resistant on the other hand, has a slightly warmer tone colour. It is slightly flexible depending on the gauge/model as well as particularly resistant to abrasion and durable – perfect, if you are used to strum or pick with a lot of force.

For the sake of the environment and to meet your high quality standards, all products carry the "Made in Germany" label. Both the raw material and the picks themselves are manufactured in Germany in modern, energy-saving plants.

Absolutely no conventional plastic is used in the production process. Unlike wooden plectrums, Pigtrum picks are made from biopolymers rather than tropical wood, as well as vegetable waxes and fibers. The main ingredient is lignin, a so-called "waste" substance which accumulates by the millions of tons during wood pulp production every year and often simply gets burned. Instead, I prefer to use it for making my picks.

Pigtrum picks thus protect the environment and are also physiologically harmless. Theoretically, you could even use them as cutlery due to the fact that the used materials are approved to get in contact with foods. All my picks are free of conventional plastic, petroleum, heavy metals or the like.

Choose Pigtrum picks and do your bit to make the world a little better.
