  • Manufacture 1.000 pairs of ski boots, characterize and use them on real slopes.
  • Develop an optimized manufacturing process for ski boots using about 90% recycled raw materials and eliminating processing offcuts.
  • Define a circular economy business model for ski rentals.
  • Define a new service for rentals to re-use the hard-outer shell and substitute the internal liner.
  • Get an at least 7% reduction of ski boot final cost.
  • Measure the environmental and circularity performance of the new product system and show the improvement compared to the current baseline situation.
  • Provide guidelines for market replication of ski boots.
  • Realize a certified environmental product declaration of the new ski boot and provide product category rules for other ski boots producers.
