We try to minimize our impact on the environment. Our products are extremely durable. Over the years we have introduced many innovations focused on sustainability.
MYLAPS products are built to last.
Durability is key in our product development. Our products can be used for many years in all weather circumstances.
Although even we are surprised to find MYLAPS products still in use after more than two decades!
Our active and motorsports products are developed to have minimal impact on the environment. Many products can be re-used year after year, minimizing waste. Whether it’s a detection mat, ProChip or motorsports transponder: our products are extremely durable.
For our disposable products we work with degradable materials.
From briefing to mass production, in every step of the production process our people consider the impact on the environment.
From 2022 MYLAPS operates carbon neutral. In addition to our reduction efforts, we compensate for all leftover CO2 emissions through the Katingan Mentaya Project.
This project protects vital peatland habitats in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia.
The protected area is home to between 5 and 10% of the global populations of the Bornean Orangutan, Proboscis Monkey and Southern Bornean Gibbon.

BibTag
✔ ThinTags are 75% thinner than regular tags. This results in less waste and less shipment space, which has a positive impact on carbon emissions during transport
✔ Our patented sponge foam is made of natural fiber, which is fully degradable. Even our glue is 100% naturally degradable
✔ BibTag mats are extremely durable and made of natural rubber
✔ EasyMat: lower weight and volume compared to regular mats. Less CO2 emission during transport and fewer products required for production
ProChip
✔ Chips are extremely durable and are reusable
✔ ProChip Smart Decoder: smaller and more effective energy household. Battery is lead free
✔ Event organizers can use chips owned by timer or ask athletes to bring their own chips
Motorsports
✔ Transponders available with 1, 2, 5 years or life-time subscription: can be used for many years and can also be used by multiple drivers
