Ecodesign comment
The use of renewable raw materials substitutes fossil resources and influences the generation of CO 2emissions. The application of biopolymeres for the golf tees solves the disposal question and no harm is done to the environment when left in the soil. The use of renewable resources presents a crucial criterion for sustainability.
Realized ECODESIGN measure: Prefer materials from renewable raw materials
