THE NEW STANDARD OF SUSTAINABILITY
IN THE SKI BOOT INDUSTRY

Dalbello announces a ski boot series made with recycled materials for the global retail market with the new Green Menace and Green Gaia models for 2022/23.

This makes the ski boot manufacturer from Asolo, Italy, a pioneer, having developed the most sustainable ski boot in the industry so far with state-of-the-art elements in terms of eco-design.

The result is the launch of green boots that are made of recycled materials comprising up to 90 percent of their weight. 100 % of the boots will be recyclable at the end of life.

GREEN MENACE & GREEN GAIA

The new sustainable Green Menace and Green Gaia models consist of four models each. The junior boots are for young skiers from different ages and levels who want to discover skiing. Thus, Dalbello has created recycled boots for a group that outgrows ski boots quickly, resulting in a shorter product life cycle. To reduce the impact on the environment, Dalbello has made it its mission to shift production to almost completely recycled materials on these high-volume models.
