Urban gardening and composting are growing trends in big cities around the world. New York City, whose 600-plus community gardens represent the nation’s largest concentration, shows how it’s done: More and more residents are gathering their kitchen waste to help create organic soil-enriching compost. And GORE® Cover technology plays an essential part in the process.

When triathlete John Grieco resolved to complete four Ironman® races in a year, he couldn’t imagine the obstacles he would face. After setting this goal, he learned he had an abdominal aortic aneurysm, a life-threatening condition, as well as multiple aneurysms in his iliac arteries, which supply blood to the pelvis and legs. He was told that even with successful treatment, he may never race again. Then, he found new hope through Gore.

World champion cyclist and Olympic gold medalist Fabian Cancellara has a new title to add to his list: GORE BIKE WEAR® brand ambassador. As one of the most successful racing cyclists of all time he will not only serve as a face of the brand but also lend his experience to product development.

Large quantities of hazardous goods are transported every day, serving as a potential threat to the environment. Because industrial chemicals and household cleaners off-gas inside their containers, they need to “breathe” to prevent pressure buildup and leaking. Two new GORE® vent series provide worry-free solutions, giving chemical companies and packaging manufacturers greater peace of mind about safety along the supply chain.
