How would you like to drive on your surfboard? Sound crazy? Well, maybe it's not as crazy as it sounds. Two companies based in Southern California have figured out how to recycle a product that was previously deemed "unrecyclable." It's polyurethane. At ReSurf Recycling, they are taking discarded surfboards and recycling them into asphalt or concrete to be used for paving roads. They're also recycling old wet suits, made of neoprene, into yoga mats. The other company, Green Foam Blanks, has teamed up with Just Foam Blanks, a foam manufacturer, to create recycled foam blanks (surfboard innards for the landlubber). I'd say these folks are catching the wave, the recycling wave. Gnarly, dude!
