I do want to clarify one thing however. The refrence to EPS being recyclable is not quite accurate. It is true the EPS is recyclable on its own but the fact is clean PU is also recyclable and the truth is neither is recyclable once it is in the composite structure of a surfboard. More EPS does get recycled and that is primarily due to the fact that it comes usually in rectangular shapes and therefore a lot is cut off while PU foam is blown in specific blank molds so much less PU foam is cut off during the shaping process. Thanks again for your consideration. Aloha, Ned Thanks for including us in a good group of companies making strides to clean up surfboard porduction.
