The WWA Wakeboard World Championships
Ferreira do Zêzere
For over 30 years the WWA has been the world’s premier provider of amateur and professional wakeboard events, sanctioning and rules; “developed by riders, for riders”. Being an organisation depending on and feeling a great passion for nature and outdoors – sustainability and keeping the environment clear of plastics is high on their agenda. So, when the crowds were about to gather by the stunning shores of Castelo de Bode to watch the world’s top wake performers, The WWA turned to FibreStrap for a sustainable collaboration.
This case was a small trial, so we didn't calculate on exact amount, the savings are always more than 85% CO2 and 80% water when replacing plastic cable ties with FibreStrap. As an example, if you would replace 12 Million plastic cable ties (annual volume for a mid-size bike producer), you would save 300 ton CO2, 23 tons of non-recyclable fossil plastic, and 230 000 m3 water. (the savings are more than 85% CO2 and 80% water)
When we discovered FibreStrap, it immediately stood out as the sustainable solution our event was lacking.
André Matos, Director of Tour & Events at The WWA Wakeboard World Championships

FibreStrap reduces carbon footprint and water usage with more than 80 percent.
