Eco Impact of Wax
This isnβt about being perfect.
Itβs about making wax that worksβwithout trashing the places we ski and ride.
Most riders donβt know whatβs in their wax.
We didnβt eitherβuntil we looked closer. And once you find out, itβs hard to keep using the same old stuff.
Letβs be blunt.
At Board Budder, weβre committed to providing eco-friendly ski wax alternatives. In this post, we explore why we avoid using PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) and paraffin in our wax. PFAS are toxic chemicals that do not biodegrade, accumulating in the environment and posing significant health risks. Similarly, paraffin, a byproduct of petroleum refining, is not biodegradable, making it harmful to ecosystems. We believe in the importance of using sustainable, non-toxic materials to protect both the environment and your health. Continue reading to learn more about the five key reasons why we choose to avoid PFAS and paraffin in our ski wax, and how our environmentally responsible alternatives help you shred responsibly.
