"Our sustainability report isn't only about tracking progress - it's about accelerating it," said Joel Demeritt, Trek's Global Sustainability Manager. "We're setting the groundwork now for a major change in just the next year or two. It's necessary work that's making a difference beyond our walls, and we're excited to get more companies to join us in this effort. We all know that bikes could be the solution to many of the world's issues. It could solve problems like climate change, public health, and congestion."
"For Trek Bicycles, the road to sustainability came after their first sustainability report in 2021. It was a raw look at the impact that Trek had - and a roadmap for making things better. Now, after the release of their third report, they say they've taken many steps forward."
"From that study, they set a goal to reduce their emissions which started with reducing packaging. From there they explored the carbon footprint of the materials they are using. They were surprised to see that the aluminum they used had nearly the same carbon footprint as carbon fiber composites."
"Working with their suppliers, Trek notes a change from 'dirty to clean' aluminum which has the potential to massively reduce their carbon emissions for aluminum frames."
