New Silva Terra Scout Headlamp
INTRODUCING THE TERRA SCOUT
The Swedish outdoor brand Silva presented the first liquid-filled compass in 1933, and already in 1935, the first headlamp – the Zeiler – was introduced. Ever since, Silva has continued to develop outdoor products for both world athletes and everyday adventurers. The new Terra Scout headlamp-series have been awarded as the best sustainable product for Fall/Winter 2022.
Terra means earth, and products labelled Silva Terra have lower environmental footprint.
“Silva Terra is our promise but also our contribution to the future. We are now implementing Terra as an overall strategy in all our product categories and in our entire value chain. Our products are in the hardware and electronics categories where there is still much to do in terms of sustainability. We are proud to present a headlamp with innovative materials that contribute to reduced CO2 emissions, yet humble of the long journey we have ahead of us. We will take it step by step, product by product. There are more product launches to come and more Terra products will replace the existing range already in fall/winter 2022.”, says Madelene Jonsson Öhlin, Head of Sales and Marketing at Silva.
The Scandinavian Outdoor Awards have become an important benchmark for the outdoor industry, with international journalists in the jury, testing the products in its natural environment. Since 2005, companies have been awarded based on criteria’s such as function, innovation, design, and sustainability. The product Terra Scout is praised for its innovative choice of materials and overall sustainability ambitions.
The first Silva Terra products to be launched in 2022 are the Terra Scout Headlamp-series and the Terra Dry Bag-series.
Terra Scout is made of recycled plastics and Revo material produced by the Swedish company Trifilon. The Revo material consists of recycled polymers mixed with plant fibers from hemp and has up to 90% lower CO2 emissions compared to standard plastics. The Revo material has not been colored in the Terra Scout series, which means that each headlamp has a unique look.
Terra Scout is the perfect headlamp for hiking adventures with a map and compass, for dog walks in the evening, or for cosy moments in the tent when darkness falls.
Terra Scout will be launched in three different models and available in stores from September 2022.
