HEAD SKIS PRESS RELEASE:
They are reusable and recyclable: HEAD will launch their revolutionary and
sustainable RENEW skis on February 20th, 2025. These skis are made from
materials that can be renewed and recycled thanks to a new technology.
Studies show that this new, innovative concept reduces their carbon footprint
by 26 percent and that the wooden core can be reused up to five times.
HEAD has been developing innovative skis for 75 years. This completely new
concept is a major step forward for HEAD towards more sustainable ski
production. With its combination of greater sustainability and high performance, the HEAD RENEW redefines skiing. Thanks to a new technology in ski construction, these skis can be dismantled into their individual parts at the end of their service life. An internal study has proven that the wooden core can be reused up to five times with the same level of performance. The fibreglass and ABS suspension inserts can also be reused for new skis. The other components on the RENEW such as the top sheet, tail protector, steel edges and the base layer can be recycled.
Reduces carbon footprint by up to 26 percent
HEAD RENEW skis represent a real revolution, both ecologically and in terms
of cost effectiveness. A product carbon footprint analysis by Green Vision
Solutions confirms that up to 26 percent carbon can be saved in the
production of recycled RENEW skis compared to a new pair of skis.
EUR 100 voucher when you return the skis
These skis will be available for the first time from 20th February 2025 in
lengths of 160 cm and 170 cm only via the website www.head.com in Euro
countries. To make sure that the skis are reused and recycled, they need to be
returned to HEAD within one to five years of use. The exact instructions are
also on the website. When you return the skis, you will be rewarded with a
100 Euro voucher.
High-performance all-mountain skis
The HEAD RENEW is a particularly powerful all-mountain ski with rocker.
Available in the two lengths 160 and 170 cm, it has a side cut of 130 mm
(tip), 78 mm (centre) and 110 mm (tail). The radius is 12.3 m (160 cm) or 14.2
m (170 cm). HEAD RENEW skis are made with a wood core cap construction.
They consist of a vertically laminated wood core with fibreglass
reinforcement and a durable top sheet that runs the entire length of the ski.
This forgiving design is ideal for taking skiers to the next level. Other
highlights of the ski include ERA 2.0, the Protective Frame Design, the
integrated Tip Protector and the thicker, structured top sheet.
