FLUORO WAX TAKE-BACK PROGRAM
WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?
-
Fluorinated Wax contains per- and polyflouroalkyl substances (PFAS) that are known as "forever chemicals". These chemicals have 0% biodegradability and once they are in the environment, they will stay there forever. PFAS are toxic to the environment and are proven to be carcinogenic to animals and people.
-
Fluorinated wax applied to skis or snowboards, ends up directly into the environment and local watersheds.
-
MountainFLOW wants to be part of the solution and is providing an opportunity to collect fluorinated wax currently in circulation for safe storage and disposal.
