ECO TECHNOLOGY:

Yamamoto neoprene is not derived from petrochemicals in any way, but is made from limestone taken from the mountains in Japan, in the same way concrete is made. It is estimated there are enough reserves to last another 3000 years, so it is not a limited supply resource. By utilizing hydroelectric power the greenhouse gases are kept to an absolute minimum and by recycling the heat for farming the production process is as conservative as possible.

During processing, a special compound is used to match the neoprene which is processed at 0.5 centigrade. This process causes the limestone to make an acetylene gas which then by polymerization liquefies to the burnt rubber and then drys into rubber chips. Essentially car tyres are recycled and bonded to limestone to create the neoprene sheets which are then cut and sewn into our wetsuits.
