The K2 Program snowboard binding is a high-performance binding for the advanced-to-expert level snowboarder looking to take care of mother nature, without sacrificing performance. A 50% Glass filled nylon chassis is surrounded with castor-bean based materials, with a goal of reducing the size of a binding’s carbon footprint.
By utilizing eco-conscious and recycled materials instead of plastics and EVA, we have made significant strides in sustainability. Our manufacturing process relies on over 40% solar-powered energy, and our packaging is FSC certified, utilizing cardboard and recycled paper instead of plastics.
As a result, we have achieved impressive reductions in our binding footprints – it’s not perfect, but it’s a click in the right direction:
• The Program binding uses ~40% Bio-based material by volume and ~25% by weight.
• DD1 Ankle Strap and BetterWrap Toe Straps have seen a 70% reduction in CO2 emissions per kg when compared to traditional TPU straps.
• The castor-bean-based FR1 Highback offers ~a 40% reduction in CO2 emissions per kg when compared to a nylon highback.
• Sugarcane EVA Shockpad offers a ~90% reduction in CO2 emissions per kg when compared to traditional EVA.
• All K2 Snowboarding bindings come in 100% Recyclable Packaging.
• All K2 Snowboarding binding packaging is 95% FSC-certified recycled material.
• >40% of the energy used in our manufacturing process is derived from solar.
