10 X CLIMATE POSITIVE
For every board Starboard plants 3 mangrove trees with Worldview International Foundation.
Each tree absorbs 673kg of CO2 during its first 25 years.
50% of absorption goes towards offsetting this board & 50% is secured as carbon credits to fund livelihood projects in Myanmar.
The average emission from a Starboard board is 100 kg CO2.
By planting 3 trees per board we offset this 10 x over.
PLASTIC OFFSET PROGRAM
1.4 kg of trash is collected per board by starboard pop crews at beaches in Thailand & Myanmar.
Globally, an individual is responsible for 1.4 kg of plastic reaching the ocean every year.
Starboard balances this amount for our customers.
The Gen-R has an average plastic content of 12.5 kg per board.
