Two Groups Can Recycle Your Old Surfboards
Covered in polyurethane, your surfboard is not exactly a Green product. And when it gets old and beat up, it’s really tough to reuse it unless you can get very creative. (I’ve seen a few tables and lamps made from old boards)
ReSurf and Green Foam Blanks, two companies in Southern California, are doing something to eliminate surfboard waste and recycle the polyurethane found in boards.
Outside blog writes that these companies have found a way to pulverize old boards into a fine dust, which can be used to make new foam blanks, or possibly be used as a filler in asphalt. There’s also a great article on the Environmental News Network that provides more detail on the process.
