Plastics are everywhere — and they’re a major driver of climate change. Global CO₂e emissions exceed 54.6 billion tons annually, and plastics account for roughly 3.3% of that total, with nearly 90% coming from their production stage, rather than disposal.

塑料无处不在——而且它们是导致气候变化的主要因素之一。全球每年的二氧化碳排放量超过546 亿吨，而塑料占了其中约 3.3%的份额，其中近 90%的排放来自其生产阶段，而非最终的处理环节。

At Strategic Sports, we’re tackling this problem head-on by transforming reclaimed EPS from the Japanese auto industry into high‑performance helmet liners — a breakthrough that dramatically reduces our reliance on virgin petrochemical plastics.

在韬略，我们正积极应对这一严峻的环境问题，将来自日本汽车行业的回收聚苯乙烯（EPS）转化为高性能头盔EPS——这一突破性进展极大地减少了我们对原始石油化学塑料的依赖。

This effort is part of our broader commitment to operate on 100% renewable energy and achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. Alongside major sustainability upgrades to our factories in Vietnam, Portugal and China, we’re rethinking how and where we source materials to reduce environmental impact without compromising safety or performance.

这一行动是我们致力于100% 使用可再生能源并于 2030 年实现碳中和这一更大目标的一部分。除了对我们在越南、葡萄牙和中国的工厂进行重大可持续性升级外，我们还在重新思考如何以及从何处获取原材料，以减少对环境的影响，同时不影响头盔的安全性和功能。

Our Three R’s: Reduce, Recycle, Replace

我们的“三个 R”原则：减少、回收、替换

Reduce virgin plastic by increasing regrind material use

Recycle wherever possible to close the materials loop

Replace petrochemical plastics with biobased alternatives when viable

减少原始塑料的使用，通过增加再生材料的用量来实现

尽可能进行回收利用，以形成完整的材料循环

在可行的情况下，用生物基替代品取代石化塑料

Why EPS Matters

为何EPS至关重要

The helmet liner — typically made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) — is the largest single component in most helmets and the key to their energy‑absorbing, life-saving performance. EPS compresses under impact to manage crash forces and help prevent injury. While alternative materials exist, few meet the same safety standards without significant design trade‑offs. Simply put, EPS remains unmatched for impact protection.

That’s why our challenge wasn’t to replace EPS — it was to make it sustainable.

头盔EPS——通常由膨胀聚苯乙烯（EPS）制成——是大多数头盔中最大的一个部件，也是其具备能量吸收和挽救生命功能的关键所在。当受到撞击时，EPS 会减缓冲击力以防止头部受伤。虽然存在其他替代材料，但很少有材料能在不做出重大设计调整的情况下达到同样的安全标准。简而言之，EPS 在防冲击保护方面始终无可匹敌。

这就是为什么我们的挑战不是取代EPS——而是要使其更具可持续性。

Regrind EPS from the Auto Industry

汽车行业的再生聚苯乙烯

We collect surplus high‑grade EPS used in automotive safety components from leading Japanese automakers. This material is then compressed, reprocessed, and transformed into 100% recycled EPS liners for cycling, snow, motorsports, equestrian, and industrial helmets — delivering the same performance as virgin material with a fraction of the environmental footprint.

Several major brands are already using Strategic Sports regrind EPS in production models.

我们从日本领先的汽车制造商那里收集了用于汽车安全部件的剩余高品质EPS 材料。这些材料随后会被压缩、重新加工，并转化为 100% 由回收材料制成的 EPS ，用于自行车骑行、雪地运动、赛车、马术和工业头盔——其性能与新材料相同，但对环境的影响却小得多。

已有多个知名品牌的头盔产品中使用了“韬略”牌的再回收聚苯乙烯颗粒。

“Our ultimate goal is to create a circular economy where old helmets become new helmets. Regrind EPS is a critical step toward a vision of truly sustainable and green helmet production for our partners.”

-Norman Cheng, Strategic Sports Managing Director

“我们的最终目标是建立一个循环经济模式，让旧头盔能够变成新的头盔。对聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料进行再加工是实现我们合作伙伴真正可持续且环保的头盔生产愿景的关键一步。”——韬略集团郑董

Beyond the Liner: BioDome Materials Innovation---BioDome材料创新

The EPS liner may dominate a helmet’s volume, but it’s far from the only part we’ve reimagined. Our BioDome platform extends reclaimed, renewable, and recycled materials to buckles, straps, shells, and other sub‑components, using such materials as bamboo and plastic water bottles reclaimed from the ocean. This materials innovation powers our award‑winning lineup of recyclable and recycled‑content helmets — including the Red Dot Award–recognized S‑460 RMR urban model, built entirely from reclaimed, recycled, or recyclable materials.

EPS 或许会占据头盔体积的大部分，但它绝非我们重新设计的唯一部件。我们的“BioDome”平台将回收、可再生和可循环利用的材料应用到了扣环、带子、外壳以及其它零部件上，所使用的材料包括竹子和从海洋回收的塑料水瓶。这种材料创新为我们的可回收和含回收材料系列头盔提供了动力，其中包括荣获红点奖的 S-460 RMR 城市款，它完全由回收、再利用或可回收材料制成。

A Win for the Planet, Our Partners, and their Customers

这是对地球、我们的合作伙伴以及他们的客户的双赢之举

We pursue sustainability because it’s the right thing to do for the planet — and because it matters to riders and brands alike. Sports consumers increasingly expect eco‑friendly products and look to brands that integrate real, measurable environmental action. Our approach ensures that sustainability isn’t an add‑on; it’s embedded in our product platforms from the start, and often comparable to virgin sourced materials and parts in terms of price.

我们致力于实现可持续发展，是因为这符合保护地球的正确理念——而且对消费者和品牌而言，这也很重要。体育产品的消费者越来越期望能买到环保产品，并且会倾向于选择那些积极采取切实可行的环保行动的品牌。我们的策略确保可持续发展并非附加项，而是从一开始就融入了我们的产品平台之中，并且在价格方面往往与使用全新原材料和零部件的产品相当。

Part of a Bigger Plan

更大计划的一部分

Regrind EPS is just one element of our wider sustainability roadmap. Strategic has aligned its goals with the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) — the leading global framework for measurable corporate carbon reduction. This includes carbon benchmarking, transitioning our facilities to green energy, and embedding circular design principles into all new products. We’ve also achieved ISO 14001 Certification for Environmental Management.

Our ambition is clear: lead the industry in sustainable helmet manufacturing by rethinking every stage of the process — from material sourcing to logistics to manufacturing practices. What begins as automotive scrap ends as a helmet built to protect both you and the planet.

再生增强塑料只是我们更广泛可持续发展路线图中的一个组成部分。韬略已将我们的目标与SBTi目标保持一致——SBTi这是全球领先的可衡量企业碳减排权威机构。这包括碳基准评估、将我们的设施过渡到绿色能源以及将循环设计原则融入所有新产品中。我们还获得了 ISO 14001 环境管理体系认证。

我们的目标十分明确：通过重新思考整个生产过程的每一个环节——从材料采购到物流再到制造实践——引领行业实现可持续的头盔制造。从汽车废料开始，最终会变成一款既能保护您又能保护地球的头盔。
