本文研究了滑雪板制造业的生态效率，以及它与全球变暖、气候波动增加和全球降雪量减少之间的关系。我们的数据和随后的分析说明了总部位于北美和欧洲的滑雪板品牌样本组目前的生态效率活动。尽管样本组的总体生态效率活动水平为“知情的”，但主要数据表明，整个行业都需要标准化和实施全面的环境管理系统和全面的生命周期评估。以整个行业的可持续发展和从摇篮到摇篮的设计为最终目标，我们最后列出了全球雪上运动行业当前和未来的最佳实践。
This paper examines the eco-efficiency of the snowboard manufacturing industry and how it relates to global warming, increasing climactic volatility and reductions in snowfall worldwide. Our data, and subsequent analysis, illustrate the current eco-efficiency activity within a sample group of snowboard brands headquartered throughout North America and Europe. Though the sample group exhibited an overall eco-efficiency activity level of 'informed', the primary data show an industry wide need for standardisation and implementation of comprehensive environmental management systems and all-encompassing life-cycle assessments. With the ultimate goal of industry wide sustainable development and cradle-to-cradle design, we conclude with a list of current and prospective best practices throughout the global snow sports industry.
