The sport we love, disc golf, is seeing a growing movement towards environmental awareness. Both players and manufacturers are recognizing the importance of minimizing our impact. This article explores the world of eco-friendly disc golf discs, and how Flagstaff disc golfers can participate in this positive trend.
- Discs from Recycled Trash: A few innovative companies are creating discs from recycled post-consumer plastic. Trash Panda and Above Ground Level Discs (AGL) are pioneers in this area. AGL even incorporates bioplastic made from hemp in some of their discs. While these manufacturers may not be local to Flagstaff, their discs are readily available online.
- Post-Industrial Recycled Discs: Many major brands, including Discraft, Dynamic Discs, Innova, and MVP, are making discs from their own recycled manufacturing scraps. Choosing these discs is another way Flagstaff players can make a sustainable choice.
- Bioplastics: Discs made from organic materials like corn and hemp are becoming increasingly common. Brands like Above Ground Level, Clash Discs, and Gateway Disc Sports offer bioplastic options.
- Recycled Rubber: Gateway Disc Sports and Elevation Discs are even incorporating recycled rubber into their discs.
