Skateboarding has always had a bit of green in it. I mean its totally human powered, no emissions are emitted during use, aside from huffing and puffing. THe only non-green part was the board itself. But now a company has fixed that too.
Brazilian innovation group Let's EVO
has created a sustainable skateboard. The cover layers are from Papunha
Veneer, produced from the waste of the sustainable palm-heart industry.
The second layer is a composite formed by 70% natural fibers (jute,
malva and curaua) and 30% post-production recycled polypropylene.
All of these materials are bonded with a vegetable-based adhesive
extracted from species like castor oil plant, soy and corn. I love the
fact that the board's look is inspired by nature, hence its name,
"Folha Seca"; Dry Leaf in English. For more extreme sporty madness, visit our sister site Nollie.
