Completed a life cycle assessment

Around this same time, we also began an in-depth analysis of the complete life cycle of a Jones board, including every stage of its production and distribution. The goal of this analysis, known as a product Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), was to calculate the approximate carbon footprint of every snowboard and splitboard model we sell.

Adopted recycled materials

This process of testing and adopting sustainable materials whenever possible began with our decision to use only recycled steel edges and recycled ABS sidewalls in our first board line.

Switched to bio-based epoxy

Switching from standard epoxy resin to bio-based epoxy resin in 2019 was a solid first step.

Removed solvent varnish
