A new approach to climbing rope production, respectful of resources, through the use of renewable raw materials.
through the use of renewable raw materials.
With the BIRDLIME 1R, EDELRID introduces the first synthetic climbing rope with a renewable material content of over 40%. Through the use of bio-based polyamide, which is partly made from castor oil, the Allgäu-based company has significantly reduced the use of fossil materials.
"We consider the BIRDLIME to be an exceptional product, as it offers a new opportunity to provide responsible climbing equipment.
to offer climbing equipment with a responsible design and that makes use of one of our most effective operating principles: reducing the consumption of fossil resources.
This reduction in the use of fossil-origin crude oil is made possible by the use of bio-based materials. This proves that even when manufacturing high-quality outdoor equipment, it is possible to implement a shift towards the use of resource-preserving materials," explains Gianfranco.
