Bring us your tired, your blown, your spent, non-Slime bicycle inner tubes.
We have a home for them! We have signed up with Schwalbe North America to send bicycle inner tubes to be recycled. With each tube you bring to our shop we will inspect it and prepare it to be shipped to Schwalbe to be recycled. We cannot accept any tubes that contain sealant such as Slime.
To date Schwalbe has recycled over 10 million tubes globally- and they are just getting started.
This quote is from the Schwalbe Tires North America website:
“As a manufacturer, we take responsibility for our products – even beyond their life cycle. With the Schwalbe Recycling System, we accept the return of tubes in a effort to recycle them and avoid unnecessary waste. The aim is to incorporate the recovered material into the production of new goods and to further increase the recycled material used in our products. By doing so, we are taking an important step towards a circular economy.
„RECYCLING IS TREATED LIKE A PRODUCT
AND HAS THE SAME PRIORITY AS ANY TECHNIAL INNOVATION.“
HOLGER JAHN – COO“
