Strategic Sports stands at the forefront of the helmet industry, offering environmentally conscious manufacturing and material choices. Our helmets are crafted using up to 100% recycled or sustainably sourced materials, utilizing our innovative Biodome™ materials and packaging.

The Dream Factory harnesses steam and heat, reducing the strain on resources needed to operate the manufacturing facility. Advanced automation and integrated computer systems minimize waste and byproducts. These advancements mark a significant step towards our commitment to prioritize the planet, yet we acknowledge that this is just one facet of the solution. We comprehensively assess the life cycle of our helmets, from production processes to the end user, redefining our dedication to environmental stewardship as an OEM. With the introduction of our S-427 model, we now extend our consideration to the post-consumer life of our products.

Helmets made from our Biodome™ materials have gained considerable traction in the market. The seamless integration of recycled or sustainably sourced materials with traditional ones has become the foundation of our manufacturing process and Biodome™ maintains design integrity while prioritizing sustainability. We reclaim high-grade EPS from our partners in the Japanese automotive industry, blending it with recycled ABS plastic and PA nylon, with a proportion of virgin material to meet strength and flexibility requirements. All products are packaged in FSC certified boxes and compostable polybags, accompanied by manuals printed on recycled paper using soy-based ink.

The S-427 is truly a groundbreaking development, meticulously engineered with post-consumer recycling in mind. Crafted in factories that minimize carbon emissions, it features Biodome™ recycled EPS, ABS, and nylon. Notably, the helmet is assembled without glue, ensuring it can be effectively disassembled for recycling. The process takes less than a minute, allowing for easy sorting of materials for the correct recycling receptacle. Exceeding stringent safety standards, this helmet exemplifies Strategic Sports’ vision of the future: top-tier safety without compromise, delivered with careful consideration for the planet. The S-427 embodies our company mission of “Protecting Life,” throughout the entire lifespan of the helmet.
