D'Addario is thrilled to announce the launch of Eco-Comfort, a line of recycled guitar straps available now, exclusively on our website. D'Addario is the first major strap company to release a line with roughly 90% of the strap made from recycled materials.
All the Eco-Comfort guitar straps are made from the following sustainable materials.
- Strap fabric comes from Repreve, providing high-quality, recycled fibers that are certified, traceable, and made with 100% recycled materials, including post-consumer plastic bottles and pre-consumer waste.
- Straps are colored using E. Dye, offering an environmentally sustainable process for dyeing fabrics. Using the solution dyed polyester process, e.dye® requires no water to dye synthetics. By adding the color before the polymers are extruded, the color is inside the yarn, resulting in a superior color performance.
- Eco- Leather, Repurposed leather is grinded down and bound into newly formed leather sheets for the leather ends of the strap.
The Eco-Comfort Recycled Guitar Strap line are available in ten SKUs featuring three basic color straps (Black, Red, & Grey) and seven unique jacquard designs.
At D'Addario, we are committed to sustainably providing musicians with the most innovative musical accessories in the world. With proprietary materials, machines, and manufacturing processes, we never stop tinkering and dreaming of better ways to exceed musicians' expectations.

Keith Urban has spent decades traveling the world and topping global country-music charts, and on this episode of Wong Notes, the country-guitar hero tells host Cory Wong how he conquered the world—and what keeps him chasing new sounds on his 6-string via a new record, High, which releases on September 20.
Urban came up as guitarist and singer at the same time, and he details how his playing and singing have always worked as a duet in service of the song: “When I stop singing, [my guitar] wants to say something, and he says it in a different way.” Those traits served him well when he made his move into the American music industry, a story that begins in part with a fateful meeting with a 6-string banjo in a Nashville music store in 1995.
It’s a different world for working musicians now, and Urban weighs in on the state of radio, social media, and podcasts for modern guitarists, but he still believes in word-of-mouth over the algorithm when it comes to discovering exciting new players.
And in case you didn’t know, Keith Urban is a total gearhead. He shares his essential budget stomps and admits he’s a pedal hound, chasing new sounds week in and week out, but what role does new gear play in his routine? Urban puts it simply: “I’m not chasing tone, I’m pursuing inspiration.”
Wong Notes is presented by DistroKid.
