A PLANT-BASED RUBBER FROM A RESPONSIBLE SUPPLY CHAIN
Yulex foam requires less energy to produce than traditional neoprene, and uses renewable plant-based ingredients.
In combination with recycled internal and external jerseys, the carbon footprint of each & every wetsuit featuring Yulex is greatly reduced.
80% REDUCTION OF CO₂ EMISSIONS
Yulex natural rubber-based foams emit 80% less CO₂ emissions compared to petroleum-based neoprene, geoprene and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR).
100% EQUITABLE AG PROFITSHARING PROGRAM
The Yulex rubber used at O’Neill is sourced from smaller farmers in Vietnam. Profit shares go back to these farmers and their communities via a certified supply chain. This location also results in reduced shipping impact as the rubber is grown closer to the foam and wetsuit manufacturing sites.
100% CERTIFIED DEFORESTATION FREE
Responsibly-managed rubber plantations mitigate climate change by capturing and storing carbon (CO₂) to remove significant amounts of CO₂ from the atmosphere. Yulex natural rubber is FSC and PEFC certified.
100% PLANT-BASED, RENEWABLE, BIODEGRADABLE
Yulex's neoprene alternative does everything that a neoprene wetsuit can do, whilst protecting the planet. Yulex is 100% plant-based, biodegradable and renewable, without there being any compromises in performance.
