While the exact effects of climate change are uncertain at present, it is thought by many of the world's top scientists that it is likely to result in an increase in rainfall in some regions and a global increase in extreme weather events such as storms and floods.
Unfortunately, global warming is unlikely to mean that we will all be surfing in boardies throughout the summer months! So your suit will still be an essential part of your kit.
Alder obviously has a strong association with the ocean and we believe that we have a duty to try and reduce the affects of climate change in any way we can.
Alder for a long time now have made proactive steps to recycle all plastic and cardboard waste triggered by our import activities.
Alder have moved towards limestone based neoprene and now a large percentage of our wetsuits and neoprene accessories contain limestone based neoprene. This does not by any means make our products 100% green but it is helping with the reliance on oil based products within our industry.
Future plans in the pipeline included the use of recycled resourses in the construction of our boots, along side with suppliers we are working on a new sole unit for our boots that will contain at least 20% recycled materials whilst having no effect on the performance of our products.
The ocean is our playground.
We will keep you informed on any developments so keep checking our green page for updates.
Alder for life.
