The reason why we need to play with sustainable hockey grips
Hockey is a sport that requires skills, agility, and precision. However, one aspect that hockey players often overlook is the importance of having a good grip on the hockey stick. A good grip can make all the difference in a player’s performance. But what makes a hockey grip a ‘good’ hockey grip? That’s where the sustainability aspect comes in.
There are several reasons why we need sustainable hockey grips:
- Environmental concerns
- Performance benefits
- Cost effectiveness
… and many more!
The RIBBON Cork hockey grips are made from high-quality cork that is harvested from the bark of cork oak trees that grow in Portugal, Spain, and other parts of the Mediterranean. Cork oak trees are harvested every 9 to 12 years, which does not harm the tree and allows for the bark to grow back, making cork a renewable resource.
Traditional hockey grips, like PU grips or chamois grips, are made of synthetic materials, which are not biodegradable and can have a negative impact on the environment. Cork is a great alternative to synthetic materials such as plastic, which can be harmful to the environment and don’t provide the same level of comfort and grip.
Not only benefit the player, but also the environment!
Using sustainable cork hockey grips not only benefits the hockey player, but also positively impacts the environment. The use of sustainable materials reduces our carbon footprint during the manufacturing process. Besides, the production of cork helps to maintain biodiversity in cork pack forests. These forests are also home to endangered species such as the Iberian Lynx, the Spanish Imperial Eagle, and the Barbary Macaque.
Designed to fit comfortably in your hand
Cork is an ideal material for our hockey grips because it is lightweight, durable, and has excellent shock absorption qualities. Also, cork is naturally non-slippery, which provides a secure grip that helps hockey players maintain control of their hockey stick even in wet or rainy conditions. Cork hockey grips provide better performance benefits compared to traditional grips.
