Get Rid of Ski Wax With Fluorine
The future of ski wax is fluorine-free. Most ski wax manufacturers have stopped producing and selling ski waxes containing fluorine. However, many fluorinated products are still sitting in garages or sheds. Join our voluntary effort to make skiing completely fluorine-free! You can do so by dropping off old fluorine-containing ski wax for disposal at our shop.
Don't throw ski wax containing fluorine in the trash. New Moon Ski & Bike and Bliz/Start is offering to dispose of fluorinated nordic ski wax, no matter the brand. All you have to do is drop off your fluorine-containing products at New Moon Ski & Bike in Hayward, WI. At the point of drop-off, we will give you a coupon worth $10 off any regularly priced Bliz or Start product that can be used online or in-store as a thank you for helping to get rid of all the fluorinated ski waxes from hitting our trails.
Disposing of Products Correctly
The following methods of disposal recommended by the EPA are often displacement rather than decomposition. I.e. Take the fluorinated materials and move them far away from any source where they may be hazardous.
3 Methods are outlined in the interim guidance for destruction and disposal: incineration, Landfills, and Underground Injection.
Guidelines for incineration: Temperature required for the most difficult to decompose, 1400c. It’s really hard to burn! Displacement methods – Landfills and Underground injection. The efficacy is entirely dependent on where the product goes. For some perspective, how little fluorocarbon is found in fluorinated wax would be less than a drop in the ocean compared to the overall US production of solid waste (258 million tons).
