Mammut plans to continue to improve its CO2 balance. To this end, the manufacturer of outdoor sports items based in Seon is not only producing durable products from recycled materials, but also hopes to decrease emissions generated by traveling to places to exercise outdoors. In order to achieve this, Mammut is participating in a compensation project. According to a press release, Mammut is supporting Danish and Finnish companies with an initiative to store carbon dioxide that has been captured from the air in concrete.
The process is divided into various steps. The Copenhagen-based startup Klimate organizes and oversees the entire process. ARC, which is also from Copenhagen, captures up to 4 metric tons of CO2 per day. Bofort from Antwerp in Belgium provides ISO tanks to transport the liquid carbon dioxide to Finland, where Carbonaide from Joensuu introduces the gas into its concrete manufacturing process. Mammut acts as a buyer in this process, providing financial support. The project expects to decarbonize a total of 90 metric tons of CO2 by the end of 2025.
Tobias Steinegger, Head of Corporate Responsibility at Mammut, commented in the announcement: “Through this cooperation, we aim to achieve tangible results in carbon removal and inspire other companies to eliminate their residual emissions after making significant efforts to reduce their carbon footprints.” Mammut aims to halve its own emissions by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050. ce/ww
