A scientific path that contains the power of collaboration
Bringing a radically sustainable innovation to a relatively new market, where do you start? Many phases have been passed in our search for the ultimate, durable and high-quality climbing hold. For example, in recent years we have worked together with more than 12 different partners in a consortium.
The technical feasibility study, market research, experimental research and industrial research have resulted in our product being developed into what it is today in recent years. A high-quality, durable climbing hold. Easy to clean, strong, non-rotatable and lightweight. Made from raw materials from waste streams. Based on scientific research in materials and engineering
2 intrinsically motivated entrepreneurs from the climbing world
Entrepreneurs Tim and Geert go for their goal with passion and commitment. The next generation of climbing holds is their first step towards making sports climbing more sustainable.
Product-as-a-service
Together with Sportinnovator, the Greenholds consortium made radical innovation possible. Innovation in the production process, the product and the (long-term) relationships with our customers. Our customer relationships are becoming more service-oriented ('Product as a service'), due to the deposit system on the holds.
We keep innovating constantly
The Greenholds consortium has expertise from the entire chain. With access to the world's best infrastructure and research facilities in the fields of materials, sustainability and engineering. We are constantly innovating for the most sustainable sports climbing possible.
Sustainable method
The holds are produced with a completely new production method. We are moving away from the traditional (polluting) method of producing holds poring PU or PE. Injection molding technology with Polyamide (Nylon) is used for the Greenholds.
high quality engineered
Greenholds are stronger, lighter and more wear resitant than other existing holds. Also chipping is impossible. Due to the uniquely engineered surface structure, you have an optimal grip & feel and the holds are easy to clean. The mechanical properties of the raw materials used in the high-quality Greenholds surpass all other existing climbing holds.
Recyclable Holds
Our holds are recyclable. So we want them back! That is the reason for the 20% materail depost. Hand in the old holds and you will receive a 20% percent discount on the next purchase of Greenholds for the weight you have turned in. You don't want new ones? No problem. We will give you 5% deposit when you send them back. The product portfolio will be expanded intensively in the coming years. So economic advantage on the long term!
With our training holds, Downclimb Jugs and our first line of holds (ESSENTIALS), Greenholds is officially off the grid. But this is just the beginning. We will be launching a new ranges of climbing holds in various shapes and sizes in the future. Perfect for climbing and bouldering gyms, but also for private use. We use the same concept: 100% recyclable and made from Nylon waste. High quality. Keep an eye on our website!
