Environmental Conscious
Apeks are committed to using environmentally friendly materials and processes whenever possible to help reduce our carbon footprint.
Water-based Glue
We turned solvent-based laminating glue into water-based glue, eliminating harmful volatile organic compounds.
Dope-Dyed Yarn
Dope-dying infuses dye pigments into the molten plastic solution to produce coloured yarns without dying process. This saves tremendous amounts of water while reducing energy consumption and water pollution.
Eco Carbon black
Carbon black, one of the key ingredients of neoprene can now be made from scrap rubber tyers. This significantly reduces energy consumption and reduces CO2 emission by 200g per wetsuit.
Limestone neoprene
The main neoprene compound uses calcium carbonate from limestone to form chloroprene rubber chips, remains chloroprene, instead of using dirty petroleum-based ingredients.
In the ThermiQ 8/7, the wetsuit has truly evolved.
