The singular mission of MicroGREEN Polymers is to provide the plastics industry and the world with environmentally sound plastics technologies that offer substantial economic advantages. Twenty years ago researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and later at the University of Washington, discovered that if you put plastic under pressure and expose it to a gas, such as CO2, it will become saturated with that gas while in the solid state. By exposing the saturated plastic to sufficient heat to soften it rather than melt it, the gas nucleates into billions of bubbles, held in place by the solid state plastic, so that the whole structure expands in a controllable manner resulting in a low density plastic with the same chemistry. Eight years ago our founders realized that applying this technology to the most recycled plastic on earth would result in dramatic improvements in sustainability. MicroGREEN offers solutions that are both environmentally and economically sustainable. The "Micro" part of our name is an abbreviation of microcellular technology, while "GREEN" connotes the eco-friendly nature of our technology. But we also realize that the "GREEN" benefits of Ad-air ® technology relate to bottom-line benefits. Quite simply, using less plastic costs less.

Banshee Bungee has opened up new possibilities in urban riding with a highly elastic cord that launches riders up to 30 miles per hour. The boardbungee puts any terrain into play for snowboarding, skiing, and skateboarding and eliminates the need for drop-in ramps. The bungee also works for watersports such as skimboarding - packing enough speed to let riders hit previously unattainable breaks. Working like a slingshot, riders tie the end of the bungee to any fixed object (rail, pole, tree etc…) past the feature they want to hit. For water sports, the boardbungee can be anchored past the break. Once the bungee is secure, riders stretch back until there is tension in the cord. When a rider is ready to let it rip, he or she lets go of the handle. With an extra handle, two people can stretch the bungee for more speed.
