Mervin Manufacturing are making boards with a top sheet that is made from beans. They then print the graphics on using water based inks "(The majority of the snowboard industry uses toxic solvent-based silk-screen inks with thick solvent-based gloss curtain coats)".
My favourite line from this article is:
"Snowboarders are attached to the natural world... they are going to be more apt to buy something that he or she feels is ecologically better for the planet." said Alex Warburton, product line manager for Salomon Snowboards of France.
I hope more boarders will begin to feel like this, as surfers are more common for, and start 'saving snow'.
