The Arbor Collective is proud to have been the first action sports brand specifically established to consider the environment across everything they do. The company was launched in 1995 with their snowboard line, and a dialog about Arbor’s focus on sustainability and its importance to snowboarding.
Shortly after launching the team started repurposing old snowboards into big wheelbase skates that were ideal for bombing hills when there was no snow. This led to the introduction of their skateboard line and an extension of Arbor’s sustainability efforts and its importance to action sports. With the skate line, Arbor pioneered bio-urethane and expanded their use of recycled materials and responsibly sourced wood and bamboo – their mission is to build premium lifestyle skateboards, with the smallest possible environmental footprint.
