About This Product
Why you'll love the K2 Program 2025 from Ski West
The K2 Program snowboard binding is designed as a high-performance option for advanced to expert snowboarders who prioritize environmental responsibility without compromising performance. It features a 50% glass-filled nylon chassis surrounded by castor-bean-based materials, aiming to reduce the carbon footprint of the binding.
By incorporating eco-conscious and recycled materials in place of plastics and EVA, significant progress has been made in sustainability. The manufacturing process utilizes over 40% solar-powered energy, and packaging is FSC-certified, made from cardboard and recycled paper instead of plastic.
The efforts have led to notable reductions in the environmental impact of the bindings—while not perfect, they represent meaningful progress:
- The binding consists of approximately 40% bio-based material by volume and 25% by weight.
- DD1 Ankle Strap and BetterWrap Toe Straps have achieved a 70% reduction in CO2 emissions per kg compared to traditional TPU straps.
- The castor-bean-based FR1 Highback offers around a 40% reduction in CO2 emissions per kg compared to a nylon highback.
- The Sugarcane EVA Shockpad delivers a 90% reduction in CO2 emissions per kg compared to traditional EVA.
- All K2 Snowboarding bindings come in 100% recyclable packaging.
- Packaging for K2 Snowboarding bindings is made from 95% FSC-certified recycled material.
- Over 40% of the energy used in manufacturing is sourced from solar power.
