Zeedsports seeks excellence in every aspect of our
business and that includes helping to conserve
natural resources by reusing and recycling raw
materials, purchasing recycled materials, and using
recyclable packaging.
By striving to operate in an environmentally
sensitive way we aim to minimize our carbon
footprint and to achieve low carbon or carbon
neutral status in the future.
Our latest initiative is to source UFD fins which
are made from 50% recyclable material (derived from
carpet tiles which are recycled by stripping the
nylon fiber.)
We constantly look at ways to improve our
environmental impact throughout the whole of our
manufacturing
process; from the sourcing of materials used in
manufacture to ensuring that our products are as
recyclable as possible when they come to the end of
their life.
We
recognize that this is a continuous process of
improvement and ensure we work fully with both our
customers and suppliers to achieve the long term
goal of carbon neutral status.
In addition, we also strive to source and
manufacture whilst reducing our pollutant levels.
For example, the skin used to cover our soft
surfboards and bodyboards is NON TOXIC, ODOUR FREE
and POLLUTION FREE. The materials have obtained Eco
Label accreditation (the certificate of
environmentally-friendly product) of categories 1
and 2, and meet European Common Market ROHS
requirements.
Some of our environmentally materials include epoxy
pain, polyester paint, mixing solvent: PU, AP, EP
which all pass requirements for lead and other heavy
metals content (as stipulated in the ASTM F96307
Heavy Metal content). These materials also meet the
requirements as stipulated by the ¡¥U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the ¡§ECHA (the
European Chemicals Agency)¡¨.
