We seldom stop to think about \u201chealthy\u201d activities, such as sports and hobbies, that might be having an impact on the environment. In the case of sports that require specific equipment, such impact can be considerable. <strong>Winter sports<\/strong>, for instance, <strong>use a lot of carbon-based materials<\/strong>, which allow tools such as skis and snowboards to be both light-weight and resistant, sturdy and flexible. And utterly non-recyclable. Also, the amount of energy, fossil fuels, and waste that goes into their production is worrying at best and unsustainable at worst. An Italian company has been researching ways of <strong>decarbonising the materials used in the production of this type of sports equipment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7499\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.smarteventi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/bioplastics-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"mks_button mks_button_large squared\" href=\"https:\/\/en.smarteventi.it\/contact_us.html\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #dd9933\" >Would you like to launch your brand in Italy? Call us today!<\/a>\n<h3>From the bottom of the sea to the snowy slopes of the Alps<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Solaris Biotech Solutions<\/strong> produces and exports bioreactors. You don\u2019t need to know what those are, what you do need to know is that the processes they have developed now allow t<strong>he production of skis, snowboards, and surfboards not from carbon-based plastics, but micro-algae<\/strong>. The materials used are a combination of natural woods such as poplar and biopolymers, derived from the aforementioned algae, which laminate composites of natural and artificial materials, including high-density polyurethane, poplar offers superior damping and impact resistance compared to traditional materials. This reduces the use of fossil-derived plastics to a minimum, allowing for a much more sustainable production and disposal process.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7498\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.smarteventi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/bioplastics-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Bioplastics will be a game-changer<\/h3>\n<p><strong>The future of sustainability relies heavily on bioplastics<\/strong>. We live in a world that can\u2019t seem to do without plastics, in one form or another. We need light and resistant materials with which to package products, protect food from contamination, build tools for all sorts of human activities and containers for all the goods we consume, sell, and buy daily. None of this can be done without plastics, which has driven plastic pollution in our oceans and most natural ecosystems to unsustainable levels. Bioplastics should be able to perform the same functions as fossil-based plastics, but decay naturally overtime \u2013 unlike single-use plastics, which take centuries to dissolve and poison the food chain in the process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"mks_button mks_button_large squared\" href=\"https:\/\/en.smarteventi.it\/contact_us.html\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #dd9933\" >Would you like to do business in Italy?
