German tire company, Schwalbe starts first ever bicycle tire recycling system and recycles bike shop's 23 year old collection of 20,000 tires.
. Ruland said, “I always hoped that one day some company in the tire industry would manage to offer real recycling. Now that has worked – a big thanks to Schwalbe.”
A lot of work! The 20,000 tires had to be moved from a former beer cellar and into a truck container. When Ruland heard about Schwalbe’s tire recycling program over the Summer of 2022, he was elated. He said, “I rejoiced because this was exactly the information I had been waiting for… for 23 years”. He also says the “tires are not trash, they are recyclables. And we should be more concerned in all areas to recycle such material instead of always mining new raw material”.
The former beer cellar is empty now or “finally cleaned up”, as Ruhland says. In the future, the used tires that gather up at his shop, will end up in the Schwalbe Recycling System recycling box and will be picked up regularly.“Schwalbe is the first bicycle tire manufacturer in the world to take responsibility and take back and recycle used bicycle tires – turning used tires into new ones. And without any waste.
Schwalbe began the pilot phase in January 2022 with around 50 dealers, and by the end of November has reached more than 1300. And the numbers are growing every day.Transports the full recycling box to their recycling partner, Pyrum Innovations.Pyrum Thermolisys: Rubber granulate is converted into secondary raw materials goes to step 5Ron Frazelle is the Cycling Lifestyle Editor for Bikerumor, he has been writing about bicycles and the cycling way of life for 7+ years.
