Greenlight Surfboard Supply is leading the growing movement toward manufacturing and supplying surfboard building materials that are sustainable and have the least impact on our delicate ecosystems.
Pioneering non-petroleum based plastics in the surfing industry, these leash plugs are molded from a brand new bio-plastic derived from corn starch, which is bio-degradable yet resistant to salt water, sun, and sand. In the spirit of Greenlight's "Minimal Waste Philosophy", their bio-plastic leash plug was designed and reinforced to use minimal material but maximum strength.
In keeping with their “green” business model, Greenlight Surfboard Supply also donates $1.00 from each Green Plug sale to "Trees for the Future" to help restore natural tree cover to barren lands, a very cost-effective way to continuously remove carbon dioxide (the major "greenhouse gas") from the global atmosphere.
