Success case
of Technology Implication
We’ve taken our novel recycling tech and put it to work in the ski industry. By turning composite waste into top-notch glass and carbon fibers, we’ve created sustainable materials perfect for making alpine skis. This project perfectly illustrates how technology provides a green alternative to the usual ski-making materials.
The end result? A line of high-quality skis that meet industry standards while significantly reducing environmental impact. This effort fits right in with our mission to support a circular economy and highlights how sustainable materials can be a game-changer across different industries.
