Mervin has been building snowboards every day for over 26 years. From the very beginning we have always tried to be as environmentally conscious as possible with both our work environment and the materials and processes we use. Nearly Canadian Kraftsmen need healthy work and play environments so they can achieve maximum shred.

We use non-petroleum based bio-plastics made from castor beans. Beans are a magical fruit!
We DON'T use any cancer-causing toxic automotive lacquer clearcoats. Cancer can result in death! You don't have to support companies that use toxic printing systems.
We use soy-based elastomer sidewalls instead of toxic ABS.
We use only low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) epoxy resin systems.
Our basalt fiber is additive-free & less toxic than conventional fiberglass.
We use water-cleansed grinding systems to minimize airborne particulate levels. Pets are encouraged to stay out of the grinding areas.
We use only renewable forest products for our cores. Columbian Gold is FSC pure certified. Fast growing trees have long fibers & natural pop. Wood is nature's fiberglass!
Our wood sawdust is recycled as a soil additive and scrap wood is donated as kindling.
We recycle all our scrap plastics (base cutouts, etc.)!
Our factory heating runs on renewable based biodiesel!
Norm Eco-Sub Printing
ECO-SUB PRINTING!

Mervin uses an environmentally friendly water-based ink sublimation graphics system to print all our snowboard graphics! (As opposed to the majority of the snowboard industry, which uses toxic solvent-based silkscreen inks with thick solvent-based gloss curtain coats on top... the process of building boards that way is very toxic for both the environment and people working in the factory, and because of the toxic inks, other company's scrap plastics are not recyclable.)

enviro-finger-joining
FINGER JOINING!

SIZE DOESN'T MATTER! Mervin does not waste odd sized wood. Using our finger joiner, Mervin is able to use normally unusable cutoff end wood core pieces. The wood is actually stronger at the joint than regular wood. The result is that almost no wood is wasted and the boards are stronger and have more pop.

Eco Woodcores
ECO WOODCORES!

We use fast growing framed eco woodcores. Good wood dust is collected so it can be recycled as soil additive. Scrap wood is donated as kindling.

The following is a reply from Mervin Manufacturing to our question – "Are your products Made in the USA?"

How do you know the products you have listed are Made in the USA?
Before including products in our database we review the advertiser’s website and/or contact them to ascertain the origin of their products. Some advertisers sell both Made in USA products and foreign ones. Therefore we highly recommend you review FAQ 2.

We immediately investigate any complaints regarding deceptive Country of Origin claims. If we determine an advertiser's claim is not truthful we will immediately remove the product/s from our database and suspend our relationship with the Company making the claim.

To document your complaint, email us by using our Contact Us page. We can only respond to complaints that have been submitted in writing.

What does Made in USA mean?
There is no law requiring most products to be labeled Made In USA, or have any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes (see our Big Secret tab), if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on its label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. This is true because the product without the country origin on its label has at least some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

Note: Imported products are required by law to country of origin on their label and products partially Made In USA do not. To answer this question completely reviewing our Labeling Tips 1, 2 & 3. These tips are accessible from scrolling to the bottom of our home page clicking Browse All Tips button.
