MARIA'S ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Surfing is a great sport, but the production and use of surf-related products has a negative environmental toll on the natural world. For example:
-
There are an estimated 23,000,000 surfers globally.
-
Of the six billion bars of surf wax purchased annually worldwide, most contain a blend of ingredients that are non-biodegradable, non-sustainable, non-renewable, synthetic, toxic or genetically modified.
-
A typical block of surfboard wax might contain a mix of the following:
-
paraffin wax (petrochemical by-product)
-
petroleum jelly (petrochemical by-product)
-
microcrystalline wax (petrochemical by-product)
-
vistanex (petrochemical by-product)
-
synthetic glues and resins
-
synthetic dyes and fragrances
-
Additionally, some 'eco' brands use bee’s wax, palm oil or GM products
(some soybean oil).
