Did you know? Spicy Sports Whistler is always searching for new ways to improve sustainability in our shops. As with the nature of snow sports, some of our products become unusable each year – particularly helmets.
Helmets are an essential for skiers and snowboarders of any age and ability level. These helmets are generally made up of plastic materials in order to provide the protection and durability needed on the slopes. After an average lifespan of only a few years (or a few hard falls), they become unusable and end up in the landfill.
In order to avoid this, we’ve been working with Reclaim Plastics to recycle our helmets instead. They help businesses divert plastic waste from landfills with customized recycling solutions to create new products.
Less waste = a happier Earth.
Happy Earth Day!
