Eco Index | Eco Index

http://www.ecoindexbeta.org/ The Eco Index is a ground-breaking environmental assessment tool designed to advance sustainability practices within the outdoor industry. It provides companies throughout the supply chain a way to benchmark and measure their environmental footprint, allowing them to identify areas for improvement and make informed sourcing and product life cycle decisions. Although rooted in the outdoor industry, the project’s output and tools have a wide range of applicability to other industries and sectors. The Eco Index initiative is led by Outdoor Industry Association and the European Outdoor Group and has been facilitated by Zero Waste Alliance, a 501(c)(3) non-profit focused on developing standards, tools and practices that lead to a more sustainable future.

http://www.cool-shoe.com/affichage-environnemental.html Cool Shoe participe à l’expérimentation environnementale Depuis le 1 er juillet 2011, Cool Shoe participe au dispositif d’information environnementale initiée par le Grenelle Environnement sur son produit phare : la tong ORIGINAL . Ce dispositif s’inscrit dans le cadre de sa politique de diminution son empreinte environnementale (projet Ecoological ) ainsi dans celui de l’expérimentation nationale d’information environnementale menée par le Ministère de l’Ecologie, du Développement Durable, des Transports et du Logement, à laquelle les industriels et les distributeurs ont été invités à participer volontairement . La mise en place de l’affichage environnemental s’est fait dans le cadre de l’action collective « affichage environnemental » portée par EUROSIMA CLUSTER et animée par la CCI des Landes . Pourquoi une telle démarche ?

Limestone: Rock Uses, Formation, Composition, Pictures

What is Limestone? Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) in the form of the mineral calcite . It most commonly forms in clear, warm, shallow marine waters. It is usually an organic sedimentary rock that forms from the accumulation of shell, coral, algal and fecal debris. It can also be a chemical sedimentary rock formed by the precipitation of calcium carbonate from lake or ocean water. Limestone-Forming Environment - Marine http://geology.com/rocks/limestone.shtml
L’écologie a toujours fait partie intégrante de la philosophie Volvo. Nous cherchons à protéger la planète depuis longtemps déjà en multipliant nos efforts sur le plan environnemental. Nous avons désormais aussi donné un nom à notre philosophie : DRIVe . Il s’agit là également de l’expression typique de toute une gamme de modèles qui résultent d’un développement constant de notre savoir-faire technologique et dont les taux d’émission de CO2 sont réduits à un minimum.

Our goal is to create high performance eco resins that optimize the sustainability of our customers' end products while improving performance and cost. We've replaced petroleum based chemicals with biobased renewable feedstocks. We are able to lower our resins' environmental impact from processing by employing bioderived materials such as pine oils sourced as co-products from wood pulp processing and vegetable oil components sourced from the waste stream of bio-fuel processing.

Guide to Eco Surfboards : Sustainable Surf

Can ‘going green’ actually produce a modern high performance surfboard? It turns out that the answer is ‘yes’, because products like recycled foam blanks and bio-resin epoxy laminates have equivalent strength, durability and superior flex properties. Surfers and Shapers are giving extremely positive reports of how boards surf (and shape) using these materials. But is it necessary to worry about the environmental impact of surfboard? http://sustainablesurf.org/ecoboard/guide-to-eco-surfboards/
