How do top brands stack up to INDORIDER'S SURF WAX eco test?
To understand where our SURF WAX fits into the market — we analysed the 10 best-selling surf wax brands and looked at their eco-friendly credentials.
The Problem with Conventional Surf Wax?
Most surf wax still rely on ingredients and processes that harm the environment. Here are the three biggest issues:
1. ️ Petroleum Dependency
-
The main ingredient in most surf wax is paraffin, a byproduct of petroleum refining.
-
This ties surf wax to fossil fuel extraction, greenhouse gas emissions, and oil pollution.
2. Microplastic Pollution
-
As traditional waxes degrade in the water, they break down into microplastic particles.
-
These tiny plastics are consumed by marine animals and contribute to the global ocean plastics crisis.
3. Chemical Contamination
-
Many surf waxes contain synthetic dyes, fragrances, and chemical additives.
-
These leach into the ocean, disrupting marine ecosystems and harming wildlife.
