If you're looking for a portable Bluetooth speaker that goes big on battery life and quite literally won't cost the Earth, British brand Poca Audio might have the answer. The new Poca Audio Pine Beat is billed as a "sustainable, longer-lasting Bluetooth speaker" which also doubles as a portable power bank, so much like the JBL Charge 6, you can use it to juice up your devices when you're on the go.
The Pine Beat makes a big deal of its sustainability credentials. You can change the batteries if they begin to get worn out, while the unit itself and its accompanying accessories are made from sustainable materials such as recycled aluminium, natural rubber and organic cotton. It's serviceable, too, so if things do go wrong, you won't have to dump it in a landfill and buy a brand new one.
