The WAX BUDDY is manufactured from 100% recycled ABS plastic. ABS plastic is widely used for its strength and durability. The plastic is also one of the most highly regarded for consumer goods because it is safe and does not contain the harmful substances found in other plastics. We use recycled ABS plastic to ensure your WAX BUDDY maintains its strength without contributing harmful substances into our environment. We love the sea and think our boards should reflect that. The WAX BUDDY is all about cleaner boards for cleaner waves.
