Salomon say that their new Brigade Index ski and snowboard helmet (RRP £110) is the first on the market created to be fully recyclable.
The new helmet is itself made with at least 96% of materials from the same origin.
"It can be fully recycled once you're done using it, but there no compromise on safety or style," a Salomon spokesperson said, adding, "A little reflection goes a long way - nothing is lost, and plenty can be gained."
The helmet is lightweight, weighing in at 450g. It uses the company's EPP4D safety technology which maximises energy absorption and protects your head more efficiently from impacts, Salomon says.
The helmet has all the features you'd expect including V-shaped ear pad construction, for better comfort and hearing and Salomon's Custom Dial 360 which should make it easy to adjust it vertically and horizontally to fit.
There are built in channels allowing an even temperature and constant airflow between your head, helmet and goggles and the liner is 100% washable for hygiene.
In order for the recycling to work, buyers should register their helmet after purchase and can then request a return label for recycling once needed.
