Concept Blue FAQS
Concept Blue means that we try to produce current products as sustainably as possible. This not only includes the downstream processes at the producers – for example, using solar energy or similar measures in the production process – it is also about focusing on the product itself. We looked at each product carefully and considered where it makes sense to replace existing materials with more sustainable alternatives – with the best possible performance without losing sight of the costs. Production may be a little more expensive here and there, but our goal was for the products to remain the same price for customers. At the same time, we want to produce as sustainably as possible. We started with the twin tips, which have been on the market for around half a year. The next logical consequence was to make Concept Blue surfboards, which we could also produce from many more sustainable materials. And then of course there will also be Concept Blue kites. We planned to launch it in March. The Neo and the Evo, two models from the Originals series in Concept Blue construction, are already launched, more will follow.
In general, the idea is to implement Concept Blue to the whole product range, yet it takes time. New raw materials need to be found and implemented without compromising on quality and performance, long time durability needs to be assured. As soon as all these aspects are guaranteed, a product is valid to get the Concept Blue stamp.
The undyed fabric parts of the Concept Blue kite include the Leading Edge, Canopy, Non-inflated areas Dacron, and Trailing edge.
"Undyed" indicates that these fabric parts are in their natural, untreated color. It's important to note that undyed doesn't mean white, white kites are colored and a lot of water is used.
Using undyed fabric reduces the environmental impact associated with the dyeing process, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing approach.
The bio-based bladder of the Concept Blue kite is made from materials derived from natural, renewable sources.
The bio-based bladder offers a 29% reduction in carbon footprint compared to traditional bladder materials.
A minimum of 50% post-industrial recycled material is used inside all plastic parts of the Concept Blue kite.
Incorporating recycled plastic material into the kite's construction reduces the demand for new plastic production and minimizes waste by repurposing existing materials.
Whilst we have been actively collaborating with manufacturers of recycled materials, we have faced challenges in developing kites made entirely from recycled materials. The recycling process often leads to lasting damage to the plastics used, affecting their durability and performance in our high-performance sports. Ensuring that kites made from recycled materials last long and perform well, has proven to be a significant obstacle. However, we are committed to finding sustainable alternatives and continually improving the overall sustainability of our products. Whilst recycling materials is important, it's just one aspect of our efforts to become more environmentally friendly.
When it comes to fibers, it is always difficult to produce new, high-quality fibers from recycled material. We are working on it, but it will take some time. Of course, you can also think in terms of upcycling and build something else out of a kite that is recycled. But if, as an ideal scenario, you want to have a kind of circular economy in which a used kite comes back, is completely recycled and new kites are then made from the recycled materials, it becomes significantly more difficult. This is something that cannot be done indefinitely because the molecular structure of the material changes with each recycling cycle. For example, you could mix some recycled material with some unrecycled to ensure you always maintain the same high quality. But as I said, this is a topic that we are discussing with our producer, but it is a big challenge. Perhaps we also need to think about rolling out such a concept across the entire kite industry in order to achieve the necessary critical mass so that it really offers meaningful added value in terms of sustainability. I think in the industry we all have a responsibility to think in this direction. We cannot absolve ourselves of this and must take these steps little by little.
First and foremost, we have not found a solution to build all the SLS boards with Concept Blue materials. Thus, the range is already limited to our original boards. We do not have all our original boards in the Concept Blue range as it takes time to develop every board one by one and to adapt it to the Concept Blue layup. In our development and testing timeframe it is impossible to adapt the layup to all the boards especially as every board needs to be developed individually. Step by step the aim is to include the whole range to the Concept Blue concept.
There are two reasons for this, primarily it is because our new surfboard manufacturer does not have the capacity yet to build the number of boards which we would require. The range of surfboards has just been developed and boards are working great, but also here, step by step more models will follow.
Dyneema is an HMPE (high modulus polyethylene) fiber that cannot be recycled. Thus, to produce a line from recycled fibers is unfortunately simply not possible. But, there are already Dyneema fibers whose raw materials have a very low percentage of biological impact. In addition, some manufacturers advertise that biobased Dyneema lines are having the same biological share like fossil Dyneema lines, but the only difference is the name "biobased" and the higher price for the end customer.
Mainly because there is no commercial approved alternative to EVA yet. Supplements, such as Bloom®, an algae product, will influence shrinkage and production time of each part, which will have great impact to process cycles and price of the final product. We are doing what we can do now: Buckles and Heel Cushions as spare parts, packaging using recycled material, sourcing new material for long term test and exchange bit by bit without losing performance.
On most of the plastic parts of the bar are always a lot of loads (e. g. the bar beam or the safety system). At the moment the recycled raw materials like e. g. nylon don't have great physical characteristics, that's why we can't use it for the loaded parts yet. For the non loaded parts, like the EVA of the floaters, we already tried our best to find some better alternatives like using a percentage of the BLOOM material and more to come.
CO2 compensation is discussed controversial and even been abused by some companies like airlines as one of their biggest green washing tools. As long as we can’t be CO2 neutral, we at least see it as one of the small steps we’re doing, to act responsible and to try to use as many different options available to do the right thing.
Step by step all products and materials should meet the Concept Blue requirements. All product managers are constantly researching for the best materials to exchange current materials, without compromising on quality and performance or in best case even enhancing quality and performance.
