ENVIROFOAM CORE 09

The first 100% recycled surfboard core

• Marko was interested in taking their in-house recycling process to the next level and found a material process that will take all post-use EPS scrap material and reformulate it so that it could be re-manufactured into a solid blank again.

• In 2006 that reformulation process was being developed and in its infancy and now in 2009 the manufacturing process has been perfected. This innovative technology allows all types of  EPS regrind to be made into a high grade moldable material for production again. The material is called Envirofoam, and is looking to be a solid choice for a sustainable blank material in the surfboard manufacturing process.

• Marko has tested this material for use in blanks and finished boards with some of our select customers. With positive results, Marko was granted an exclusive global contract securing the manufacturing and distribution of this revolutionary process for all water sports applications. Marko is proud to be a part of this amazing process and now introduces the first 100% recycled EPS blank into the market in May 2009.
