CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND GREEN PRODUCTS AT SILBAERG
Sustainability is our top priority at SILBAERG Snowboards. For years we have been relying on innovations that reduce our environmental impact. Our commitment is reflected in various measures such as the use of organic resins, the integration of flax fibers in the Shreddomat from 2015 to dampen vibrations, the production of Longboards and Balance boards from old snowboards as well as reducing fiber waste by around 75% thanks to the dry fiber placement in ours Splitboard .
But that's not all - we go one step further and proudly present our new A.L.D.-tech.® HEMP snowboards. These boards are made with Fuse Tape from Sachsenleinen, which is grown between Chemnitz and Leipzig. The tape is processed into A.L.D.-tech.® Hemp preforms using dry fiber placement. A.L.D.-tech.® Hemp is currently in ours customized snowboards and in Shreddomat / Shreddomata available.
But that is not the end of our efforts. We use the remaining fiber waste from the production of the carbon preforms of our A.L.D.-tech.® Carbon and PRO Carbon boards to produce directed recycled carbon fiber nonwovens. These are used in combination with hemp fibers in our A.L.D.-tech.® Hemp-rCF preforms, which are currently being used in the first test boards with our team riders. These test boards also utilize a new bio-based resin system that has a bio content of 31% in the resin and 54% in the hardener. are partners for the project Circular Saxony , Saxon Textile Research Institute e.

CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND GREEN PRODUCTS AT SILBAERG
Sustainability is at the forefront of SILBAERG Snowboard's ethos. For years, we've been committed to innovations that reduce our environmental impact. Our efforts are evident through various measures such as utilizing bio-resins, integrating flax fibers in the Shreddomat from 2015 for vibration dampening, crafting longboards and balance boards from old snowboards, and reducing fiber waste by approximately 75% with dry fiber placement for us Splitboard .
But that's not all – we're taking it a step further and proudly introducing our new A.L.D.-tech.® HEMP Snowboards. These boards are made using Fuse Tape from Sachsenleinen, grown between Chemnitz and Leipzig. The tape is processed into A.L.D.-tech.® Hemp Preforms using Dry Fiber Placement technology. A.L.D.-tech.® Hemp is currently available in our company customized snowboards and in the Shreddomat / Shreddomata .
But our journey doesn't stop here. We're repurposing the remaining fiber waste from manufacturing Carbon-Preforms for our A.L.D.-tech.® Carbon and PRO Carbon boards into directional recycled carbon fiber nonwovens. These nonwovens are combined with hemp fibers in our A.L.D.-tech.® Hemp-rCF Preforms, currently being tested in initial boards with our team riders. These test boards also feature a new bio-based resin system, containing 31% bio-content in the resin and 54% in the hardener.
