Disc golf is a sport that naturally brings us closer to nature. Whether you’re hiking up a wooded fairway, launching a drive across a valley, or just enjoying the sound of chains echoing through the trees, it’s easy to appreciate the great outdoors when you’re out on the course. So it only makes sense that disc golfers want to protect those places we play.

With Earth Day here, there’s no better time to spotlight the disc golf brands that are stepping up for sustainability. More and more manufacturers are turning to recycled materials, earth-friendly plastics, and greener production practices to reduce their environmental impact. And the best part? These discs aren’t just Eco-conscious. They fly just as well as their standard counterparts.

If you’re looking to go a little greener with your gear, here’s a closer look at the companies making it easier to throw responsibly.

Latitude 64 Logo

Latitude 64

Let’s start with Latitude 64, a disc golf brand based out of Sweden. They’ve introduced a Recycled Line that reuses leftover materials from their regular production runs. These plastics come from misprints, factory seconds, or excess plastic that would otherwise be scrapped.

The result? Durable, great-feeling discs that come in unique, swirly colors due to the mixed plastic. These aren’t your average “Eco” discs. They perform like premium plastic, with a softer feel and slightly more grip. Some players even prefer it!

Popular molds in the Recycled Line include beginner favorites like the Diamond and Pure, making it easy for new players to get started with Eco-friendly plastic.

Bonus points:Latitude 64’s factory runs on 100% renewable energy.

Dynamic Discs & Westside Discs

Latitude 64’s sustainability efforts don’t stop at their own brand—they extend to their Trilogy partners: Dynamic Discs and Westside Discs. All three brands share production facilities, which means they also share recycled plastic initiatives.

Dynamic Discs offers BioFuzion plastic, a recycled blend made from Fuzion plastic remnants. Similarly, Westside Discs has Tournament Recycled, which does the same with their premium Tournament blend.

These plastics tend to be slightly more understable than the originals, which is actually a plus for many players, especially those still dialing in their form. BioFuzion and Tournament Recycled discs offer high performance, distinctive looks, and a smaller environmental footprint.

Infinite logo

Infinite Discs

The Infinite Discs I-Blend plastic is made from recycled plastics, and it feels amazing! By using recycled plastics, the amount of virgin plastic used is greatly reduced. That reduces the environmental impact associated with manufacturing. Most Infinite molds can be found in I-Blend plastic.

Discraft

Discraft has been making moves to become more sustainable as well. One of their key initiatives is the use of Recycled ESP plastic. ESP is a blend made by reprocessing scraps and leftover materials from their ESP line.

Discraft’s recycled runs are typically limited releases, so they don’t always stay in stock for long. But when they do pop up, they’re a great way to get a premium feel with a lighter environmental load.

In addition to their plastics, Discraft focuses on reducing waste throughout their manufacturing process. They’ve put a strong emphasis on operational efficiency, minimizing scrap, and repurposing unused materials.

MVP disc golf logo

MVP Disc Sports

When it comes to eye-catching design, MVP Disc Sports has always done things a little differently. That creativity extends to their sustainability game, too. Their R2 Neutron plastic line is made from recycled materials, collected from their own production waste.

R2 discs are easy to spot—featuring a sleek black core with white rims. They look sharp, feel fantastic, and fly true. The plastic is soft and grippy, making it a solid choice for putting and approach discs in particular.

Current molds available in R2 Neutron include popular putters like the Envy, Atom, and Nomad. These are all excellent choices if you want to build an Eco-friendly short game.

MVP also owns Axiom and Streamline Discs, and while R2 is currently limited to select molds, it shows their commitment to building sustainable options into their product line.

Trash Panda Disc Golf

No discussion about Eco-friendly discs would be complete without mentioning Trash Panda Disc Golf! Jesse from Trash Panda started the brand with the goal of making discs completely from recycled plastic. It took a few years to reach the point where he could do it at scale, but he has achieved that goal!

In addition to making and selling tons of discs made from recycled plastic, he also accepts tons (literally) of used discs to grind up and make into new discs! How cool is that! According to the Trash Panda website, they have recycled over 30,000 pounds of plastic. Every facet of their business is about sustainability.

Other Eco-Conscious Practices

While not every disc is made from recycled plastic, several brands are making progress in other areas of sustainability. For example:

  • Innova has explored Eco-friendly packaging and has made efforts to reduce energy consumption in their manufacturing process.
  • Many smaller brands and custom disc dyers are starting to use water-based dyes or biodegradable packaging to reduce their impact.
  • A few disc golf bag manufacturers are beginning to use recycled fabrics and materials in their products, too. That’s something to keep an eye on!

 

Shopping Green: Tips for Eco-Friendly Disc Buying

So, how can you be a more environmentally conscious disc golfer? Here are a few simple tips:

  • Look for recycled plastic labels like R2 Neutron, BioFuzion, I-Blend, Recycled Line, or Recycled ESP.
  • Buy factory seconds or misprints. Not only are they often cheaper, but they help reduce waste.
  • Check packaging. Some retailers use Eco-friendly shipping materials—bonus points for compostable mailers or recycled boxes.

 

 

Final Thoughts

Disc golf is a game that frequently takes place at a variety of landscapes, parks, and green spaces. Supporting brands that are working to reduce their environmental impact is one small way we can all give back to the sport, and the planet, that gives us so much.

Best Disc Golf Plastics

As disc golf grows in popularity, so does the choices of molds and plastics. The type of plastic we choose for our discs has a big impact on the flight of the disc. Not only do different plastic types directly affect the stability and flight, but the feel of the plastic can affect our grip and confidence. In this blog we will talk about the best plastics in several different categories.

Plastic Characteristics

If you look at any disc on Infinite’s website, you’ll see a graph for each plastic type. The graph rates three characteristics of that particular plastic, and those three may make a difference as to whether we buy the plastic or not. Those three characteristics are Durability, Softness, and Grip. Those qualities will help us as we discuss the best plastics for each category that we will explore. Let’s find the best plastics!

Best Disc Golf Plastic For Drivers

Discs featuring Innova Star plastic, the most popular disc golf plastic.

When we reach for our drivers, we are more likely to be going for distance and throwing with more power. That means we will be hitting objects harder, and a more durable plastic would be preferable. However, durability is a double-edge sword when it comes to drivers. An extremely durable plastic will give you a longer life and once its broke in it will keep that flight for a long time. On the other hand, it may take a long time to break in, leaving you with a less than desirable flight. Overall, a durable premium plastic is desirable in a driver. That is why there are so many durable plastics in the top 5.

One exception is DX plastic. DX is a base plastic that beats in quickly. It is inexpensive, making it a great choice for beginners, or people wanting to try new molds. Although it does get seasoned quickly, it can also get too beat in, making it flippy.

Here are the top five best plastics for drivers:

  1. Star – This popular plastic comes in a variety of colors and molds. It is durable and has an amazing feel.
  2. ESP
  3. Neutron
  4. I-Blend
  5. DX

Best Plastic For Putters

Purple MVP Glitch in Neutron Soft plastic

When looking at the most popular plastic for putters, you get two different grip extremes. Softer, grippier plastics are great for short range putting due to their ability to ‘grab’ the chains. However, stiffer plastics are great for driving or approach shots. Here are the top five plastics for putters:

  1. Neutron – Some of our best-selling approach discs come in Neutron plastic. It is a durable plastic, and the overmold adds another layer of durability.
  2. D-Blend
  3. DX
  4. P-Blend Glow
  5. ESP

Best Plastics For Dyeing

Disc golf plastic good for custom disc dyes

Disc dyeing is a popular activity among disc golfers. It allows the dyer to unleash their creativity and end up with a unique disc. There are many different methods for dyeing a disc, but the goal is the same: to get the dye into the disc. They type of plastic used makes a huge difference in the results of a dye. In this category, premium plastics rule the day. Base plastics can be dyed, but the results are never as good as dyeing premium plastics.

Here are the best plastics for dyeing discs:

  1. Star – A white Star disc will give the best results from dyeing. It makes colors pop and resists bleeding.
  2. ESP
  3. S-Blend
  4. Prodigy 400G
  5. Tournament

Best Plastic For Winter

Playing disc golf in cold weather presents some new challenges for those willing to brave the cooler temperatures. First, discs fly differently in colder weather. The plastic is stiffer and you get less glide from your discs. They also tend to be more overstable due to the air density. Grip is also affected by the cold stiff plastic. And cold temperature disc golfers always run the risk of cracking their discs due to hitting a solid object like a tree or light post. With those challenges in mind, we can explore which discs are best for winter play

  1. GStar – Not only does the GStar excel in winter golf, it has a sheen and textured look that is beautiful. GStar plastic remains soft even in cold weather, giving you a consistent feel year ‘round.
  2. Neutron Soft
  3. Base Plastics
  4. G-Blend
  5. FLX

Honorable mention: Elevation Discs – Elevation’s extra-soft materials are just as floppy in winter as in summer. Try one of their molds and see what the hype is about.

Best Plastics For Beginners

Group of disc golfers waiting around before a league round.

When we are starting out in disc golf, most of us experiment with molds and plastics until we find the discs that work the best for us. A great plastic to start with is a base plastic. Base plastics have several qualities that make them good for beginners. They have good grip and are softer than some premium discs. They also break in faster than premium discs, giving you a good flight in a shorter amount of time. Plus, they are the least expensive plastic, so if you are experimenting with molds, it won’t cost as much to try new ones.

  1. DX – This plastic feels good and breaks in quickly. Being cheaper than premium is a nice bonus.
  2. Pro D
  3. D-line
  4. X Line
  5. I-Blend

Best Plastic For Night Disc Golf

Glow in the dark disc plastic by MVP brightly glowing in the dark.

Although glow-in-the-dark plastics are common and most brands offer some glow options, not all glow plastics are created equal. Some brands get it right and their plastic glows brightly and holds it for a long time. Others have a glow so weak that it is difficult to tell if it is actually glow plastic. Night rounds are a blast and one of the things that makes it great is watching your glowing disc in flight. Having a plastics that glows bright makes it fun to watch, and makes it easier to find your disc. Here are the best plastics for night disc golf:

  1. Eclipse 2.0 – MVP has some of the best glow plastic on the planet. They are consistently bright and long lasting. Get a few MVP, Axiom, or Streamline molds for your glow rounds.
  2. Lone Star Glow
  3. K1 Glow
  4. TSA Glow
  5. RPM Glow

Most Durable Disc Golf Plastics

Durable Champion Plastic

Durable plastics are great for disc golf because there are usually lots of obstacles on a course and durable plastics can take a hit without losing its flight. Softer, less durable plastics get dinged up easier, which can alter the flight and stability of a disc. Sometimes dings and dents can alter the flight so much that it may need to be replaced.

Discs made of durable plastic take longer to get ‘seasoned’ and achieve the desired flight. But once they do, you can usually throw the disc for a long time and not lose that flight. Although the most durable discs are not indestructible, they can definitely take more abuse than softer discs. Here are some of the most durable plastics.

  1. Champion – This translucent plastic is an extra-durable workhorse. Get your favorite mold in Champion and that disc will last for a long time.
  2. Z
  3. Opto/Lucid/VIP
  4. C-Blend
  5. C-Line
