Ecology
We, the Windelo sailors, act for a boating that respects people and the environment. We board innovative boats, built mainly of recycled and biosourced materials.

Basalt is a volcanic rock from a magma cooled quickly in contact with water or air. It’s the most common volcanic rock type on earth, being a key component of oceanic crust as well as the principal volcanic rock in many mid-oceanic islands.
Transformation into basalt fibers
The basalt fiber is natural and produced out of stones, without any additives. Unlike glass that uses boric acid during its transformation with a high environmental impact. 0% CO2 emission during the transformation of basalt stones into fibers.
Use and physical properties
Basalt fibers offer unique fire, heat and chimical resistance, combined with high mechanical properties. 10-15% stronger and stiffer than glass.
End of life and recycling
The basalt fiber is 100% recyclable: refolded in the oven and reweave.
Some key figures
Env. impact energy: <strong>91,5kg</strong> glass would equate to <strong>1000kg</strong> basalt
Env. impact CO2: <strong>115kg</strong> glass would equate to <strong>1000kg</strong> basalt

From an empty bottle to a product
<strong>ArmaForm®, is made from recycled PET, mainly from reused drinking bottles. The bottles are cleaned of impurities and then ground to flakes, then used as the raw material basis for ArmaForm production with the necessary consistent properties.</strong>
Fatigue resistance High processing temperature Limited density variation Process versatility Thermo-formability 100% recyclable
