Fair play with the environment as well

Environmental protection next step: Eurodisc one step further

Ultimate Frisbee is known as the fairest team sport in the world and deservedly so. Friendship, respect and recognition are in the spotlight.

However, Eurodisc does not only want to represent these values on the playing field, but also to adopt a fair play approach in its dealings with the environment. Plastic waste in the oceans is a global problem, with several million tons of plastic waste entering our oceans every year. Numerous marine creatures die in agony from this plastic waste and, last but not least, microparticles and plastic toxins can also enter the human food chain via fish.

We have set ourselves the goal of doing our part to protect our environment. Therefore, we have been thinking for a while how to replace the plastic bag, which protects the Frisbee surface from scratching, with an environmentally friendly version. Now we have found a solution: From now on ALL our 175g discs are no longer packed in a plastic polypol bag but in a biodegradable and compostable paper bag. Together with our Bio-Eurodisc we do our best to harm nature as little as possible.
