How we produce
Sustainable Recyclable Materials
In addition to investing in clean energy, the crew at The Mothership is committed to constantly challenging ourselves to discover innovative methods for responsible production. We strive to incorporate safer, more sustainable, and recyclable materials into our construction processes.
In our production line, we have implemented advanced processes that enable us to press boards at lower temperatures and with reduced cycle times. As a result, we consume less energy to operate production at The Mothership compared to standard snowboard factories. This commitment to energy efficiency aligns with our goal ofminimizing environmental impact while maintaining high-quality snowboard manufacturing.
Furthermore, our low temperature pressing rooms employ plant-based bio resins with FSC certified wood cores, including hybrid cores with post-consumer recycled Thermopolymer additives. We also use water-based, UV-curable, and solventless inks for printing and zero toxic lacquer for topsheet application.
Recycling Methods
At The Mothership, we are continuously striving to enhance our recycling capabilities while delivering the world's best snowboards with minimal waste.
Currently,we are capable of recycling all production scraps, including base materials, tip and tail trimmings, sidewall ABS materials, protection film, and wood core milling room waste. Additionally, we have implemented the use of 100% recyclable shrink wrap film on our boards during finishing.
