K2, Bond Snowboard Binding

A Team favorite, right out of the gate, the Bond snowboard binding was developed with the help of riders like Gabe Ferguson, Parker Szumowski, and Antti Jussila. The most freestyle-focused binding in our men’s collection, the Bond prides itself on being lightweight, flexible, and comfortable. This do-it-all snowboard binding features a set of no-frills straps atop a vibration damping This Grips!™ basepad.

By utilizing eco-conscious and recycled materials instead of plastics and EVA, we have made significant strides in sustainability. Our manufacturing process relies on over 40% solar-powered energy, and our packaging is FSC-certified, utilizing cardboard and recycled paper instead of plastics.

As a result, we have achieved impressive reductions in our carbon footprint – it’s not perfect, but it’s a click in the right direction:

• The Bond binding uses ~40% Bio-based material by volume and ~25% by weight.

• SD1 Ankle Strap and Wrap Toe Straps have seen a 70% reduction in CO2 emissions per kg when compared to traditional TPU straps.

• The castor-bean-based Team Highback offers ~a 40% reduction in CO2 emissions per kg when compared to a nylon highback.

• Sugarcane EVA Shockpad offers a ~90% reduction in CO2 emissions per kg when compared to traditional EVA.

• All K2 Snowboarding bindings come in 100% Recyclable Packaging.

• All K2 Snowboarding binding packaging is 95% FSC-certified recycled material.

• >40% of the energy used in our manufacturing process is derived from solar.

A CLEANER CONNECTION:

We always want to put Mother Nature first. To do this, we prioritized our time, energy, and resources into developing a product that not only performs best in class but has a smaller environmental impact than a traditional snowboard binding. Using Eco-Conscious and recycled materials in place of the plastics and EVA that are traditionally used to manufacture highbacks, ankle straps, toe straps, ratchets, and more.

As a result, we have achieved impressive reductions in our carbon footprint – it’s not perfect, but it’s a click in the right direction.
