Giro recently invested some money into researching what sort of environmental impact their production process makes and what they can do to improve it. The Silo helmet is made with a fully biodegradable foam liner - corn. The corn liner offers the same impact protection as regular foam liners, but at the end of the helmet's life, the material can be composted and recycled. The outer shell, buckles and padding can also all be recycled. Giro will continue to pursue ways to reduce their invornmental impact over the coming years, so we expect to se more helmets like the Silo.
