A sign for the environment - Real sustainability in winter sports
Snow and the mountains - passions that unite us at DOUBLEDECK®! But climate change is advancing and it is time that measures are also taken in winter sports to counteract this.
The "Let to Rent" program is our (small) answer to climate change in the mountains, designed to make winter sports greener. DOUBLEDECK® focuses on durability as well as recycling to help reduce waste. We make it possible to rent snowboards and take them back at the end of the rental period. Snowboards are refurbished to be put back into circulation - including a new design. Discarded boards are recycled and 75% recycled. In this blog post, we take a close look at this innovative concept and its impact on DOUBLEDECK®'s sustainability strategy.
The "Let to rent" program
The DOUBLEDECK® "Let to Rent" program allows
interested winter sports enthusiasts to use snowboards in a sustainable and
cost-effective way. Participation is very simple: You register on our website
and get a DOUBLEDECK® board sent to you.
Instead of buying the board, a daily fee is paid. At the
end of the rental period, the board is returned to DOUBLEDECK® where both the
material and the design are thoroughly revised. The board is then available
again in the next season.
This approach significantly extends the life cycle of
DOUBLEDECK® boards and reduces the need for new production.
Andreas Kramer, CEO of DOUBLEDECK®, emphasizes:
"It is the first time that a hardware product can be circularized. At DOUBLEDECK® we are aware of our corporate responsibility and aim to be pioneers in the winter sports industry also in the area of sustainability. Our "Let to Rent" rental program allows us to use resources efficiently and create a much longer life cycle for our snowboards. We see it as our duty to develop innovative solutions and make a sustainable contribution to the future of winter sports."
Sustainability Strategy
The loan program is an integral part of DOUBLEDECK® 's sustainability strategy. In addition to the refurbish model, the company also relies on recycling at the end of the boards' life cycle. A full 75% of the materials used are used to produce new DOUBLEDECKS®. Through these measures, DOUBLEDECK® reduces waste and conserves valuable resources. The company is thus sending a clear signal for sustainability and environmental protection in winter sports.
