Winterstick Snowboards & Wagner Custom Utilize Energy and Waste Conservation

Winterstick boards are designed and produced at the Wagner Custom ski factory in Colorado. To minimize their carbon footprint, they focus on energy conservation and waste stream minimization. Regarding energy, Wagner Custom first focuses on simple energy efficiency and conservation measures to minimize their overall energy loads. The company’s entire factory floor is heated by a large solar thermal array (see image above). To offset its electricity loads, Wagner Custom purchases high quality wind-energy credits that support farmer-owned wind turbines in the Midwest.

Regarding waste stream reduction, Wagner Custom recycles it’s steel and plastic scraps while reusing (and selling) its wood core scraps as kindling.

They're also currently working with some bio-resin systems but haven’t implemented them into their full scale production yet.
