Sustainability meets performance: Why LOOMI BOARDS relies on cork griptape

Today, sustainability is more than just a trend – it is a necessity. At LOOMI BOARDS we pride ourselves on not only offering high quality skateboards, but also being environmentally conscious. In this article you will find out why we chose cork griptape on our boards and what advantages this sustainable option offers.

Why cork griptape?

  1. Sustainability: Cork is a renewable and biodegradable raw material that is obtained from the bark of the cork oak tree. Unlike traditional grip tape, which is often made from plastics, cork is an environmentally friendly alternative that uses fewer resources and produces less waste.

  2. Environmental sustainability: The production of cork griptape has a lower ecological footprint compared to conventional griptape. Cork is harvested using a sustainable process that does not harm the cork trees and leaves the natural habitats intact. Cork is also biodegradable and does not pollute the environment with harmful chemicals.

  3. Performance and comfort: Aside from the environmental benefits, cork griptape also offers excellent performance on the skateboard. The natural texture and elasticity of cork ensure a secure grip and comfort while driving. The griptape is hard-wearing, long-lasting and offers a comfortable surface for the feet - even during longer skate sessions.

Why LOOMI BOARDS chose cork griptape:

  1. Sustainable philosophy: At LOOMI BOARDS, sustainability comes first. We strive to use environmentally friendly materials and production methods to minimize our environmental footprint. The cork griptape is another step on our path to more sustainability and environmental awareness.

  2. Quality and performance: In addition to the environmental benefits, cork griptape also offers excellent performance on our skateboards. We want to provide our customers with the best possible riding experience and believe that Cork Griptape helps achieve this goal. It offers secure grip, comfort and durability - exactly what our customers expect from a high-quality skateboard.

  3. Local production in Germany: We at LOOMI BOARDS are proud that our skateboards are printed and assembled in Germany, near Berlin. Local production allows us to control the quality of our boards and ensure they meet the highest standards. We also reduce our CO2 emissions through short transport routes and support the local economy.

Conclusion: The cork griptape from LOOMI BOARDS combines sustainability, performance and comfort in a unique way. By choosing environmentally friendly materials and manufacturing our boards locally in Germany, we not only want to offer our customers a first-class riding experience, but also do our part to protect the environment. With our sustainable skateboards, skaters can not only improve their tricks, but also make the world around them a little better.
