Capsule Skateboard decks are made of a special high-quality polymer compound resulting from rigorous research and development from Capsule’s team of skateboarders and engineers. A huge benefit is that they can last up to six times longer than wooden decks.
Capsule decks are water/weatherproof, offer up to 20% better impact absorption, and a longer-lasting pop. They won’t delaminate, and are practically indestructible; but don’t take our word for it. Watch the archival video below when Aaron Kyro and the Braille team put our COMPOSI-TECH™ to the test.
The bottom-line is all of this science can help take your skating to the next level from a stiffer material that’s more responsive without any added weight.
Roughly 50,000 trees per month are cut down to make wooden skate decks.
Capsule boards are eco-friendly because zero trees are cut down or used in their construction.
And unlike broken or worn out used wooden decks, Capsule boards are 100% recyclable unlike wooden decks being buried in landfills.
Capsule is working towards a ‘closed-loop’ model where used decks are collected at local skateshops, returned to Capsule, and recycled back into new boards.
ECO-Friendly Graphics and Adhesives
All Capsule graphics use FDA-approved inks similar to those used for food applications. These help Capsule create a technology that’s free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and UV curing monomers.
VOCs are a large group of chemicals found in many products in home construction and maintenance. Once these chemicals are in people’s homes, they are released as “off-gas” into the indoor air humans breathe. When buried in landfills, they also penetrate ground water and soil which is toxic.
These are all great reasons to save a tree, skate Capsule, and recycle it once the board finally needs replacing.
