Swedish watersport brand Baltic Lifejackets, specialising in designing and manufacturing premium life jackets, buyoancy aids and water safety accessories, is looking for sustainability-minded try-out crew members for their Next Generation Journey 2024 as part of their Environmental Initiative.
The purpose of this call is to find watersport enthusiasts who will test Baltic’s new line of Environmental Initiative life jackets – Mist E.I., Radial E.I and Split Front E.I., on their own sustainable and inspirational adventure.
In 2023 the brand launched the Baltic Environmental Initiative focused on three goals:
The Baltic E.I. Range is made from 100% recycled materials where standards allow to produce new high quality lifesaving products with no compromise on users safety. 24% less carbon dioxide is emitted during the Baltic E.I. manufacturing process than when using non-recycled materials.
The materials are carefully selected, without compromising on quality and safety. The polyester fabric is made from recycled PET bottles and the buoyant material is polyethylene, recycled from industrial waste. The buckles and straps will continue to be made from non-recycled material as currently there is no certified alternative to these components.
Are you looking to team up with your water-loving parents, kids or friends and would like to get involved in Baltic’s Environmental Initiative? Apply today for a chance to test Baltic sustainable products and have your expenses and your time covered up to 1000 €.
The task is to use Baltic’s new line of Environmental Initiative life jackets on a sustainable and inspirational adventure. You create and choose your adventure, which (of course) must be on the water and capture your ’Next Generation Journey’ showing the brand’s products in action and highlighting what steps you have taken to protect the environment and be more sustainable. This is your adventure celebrating the next generation of sustainable journeys.
