It's no secret that the materials used to make surfboards and surfboard fins are a few steps short of being organic, but that hasn't slowed FCS' pursuit of getting as green as possible without compromising quality. Their latest environmentally conscious action may not affect fin quality or performance, but it will keep some trash out of the lineup.
For those who haven't ordered a new set of FCS fin recently, you may not know that they are now selling fins in recyclable packaging, made from recycled materials. The new FCS fin packaging consists of two components; the pulp tray which is made from recycled newspaper, and the clear slide cover that effectively protects and allows the fins to be easily displayed, which is made from recycled PET.
PET is traditionally used as a raw material for making packaging materials such as bottles and containers for a wide range of food products and other consumer goods. Products made from PET can be recycled which reduces the amount of waste going to landfills.
