WE RECYCLE! WOOD DUST IN 2013 WE KEPT 278,548 LBS. OF WASTE OUT OF THE LANDFILL! SCRAP WOOD SCRAP TAPE MATERIAL Good wood dust is collected so it can be recycled as a soil additive at the soil and compost operation right next door to Mervin. SCRAP BASE MATERIAL THE WORLD S MOST environmental BOARD FACTORY! Mervin has been building snowboards every day for over 30 years. From the very beginning we have always tried to be as environmentally conscious as possible with our work environment and the materials and processes we use. Nearly Canadian Kraftsmen need a healthy work and play environment so they can achieve maximum shred. BIO TOP SHEETS: We use non-petroleum based bio-plastics made from castor beans. Beans are a magical fruit! ENVIRO GRAPHICS: We DON T use any cancer-causing toxic automotive lacquer clear coats. Cancer can result in death! You don t have to support companies that use toxic printing systems. Mervin uses an environmentally friendly water-based ink sublimation graphics system to print all our snowboard graphics! BIO SIDEWALLS: We use soy-based elastomer sidewalls instead of toxic ABS. And: we use recycled content sidewall material. Reusing bailed plastics, completes the loop of recycling process. HEALTHIER RESIN: We use only low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) epoxy resin systems. Scrap wood is donated as kindling. All our tape, paper, cardboard and scrap base material, gets collected and recycled into new materials. ECO WOOD CORES! FINGER JOINING! ECO-SUBPRINTING! HEALTHIER FIBER: Our basalt fiber is additive-free & less toxic than conventional fiberglass. CLEAN AIR: We use water-cleansed grinding systems to minimize airborne particulate levels. Pets are encouraged to stay out of the grinding areas. ECO WOOD: We use only renewable forest products for our cores. Columbian Gold is FSC pure certified. Fast growing trees have long fibers & natural pop. Wood is nature s fiberglass! RECYCLED WOOD: Our wood sawdust is recycled as a soil additive and scrap wood is donated as kindling. RECYCLED PLASTICS: We recycle all our scrap plastics (base cutouts, etc.)! BIO DIESEL: Our factory heating runs on renewable based biodiesel! We use fast growing farmed eco woodcores! DOESN T MATTER! Mervin does not waste odd sized wood. Using our finger joiner, Mervin is able to use normally unusable cut off end wood core pieces. The wood is actually stronger at the joint than regular wood. The result is that almost no wood is wasted and the boards are stronger and have more pop. Mervin uses an environmentally friendly water-based ink sublimation graphics system to print all our snowboard graphics! (As opposed to the majority of the snowboard industry, which uses toxic solvent-based silkscreen inks with thick solvent-based gloss curtain coats on top... the process of building boards that way is very toxic for both the environment and people working in the factory, and because of the toxic inks, other companies scrap plastics are not recyclable.) 4
