Description

Since 2015, we have been recycling bicycle inner tubes and using the recycled material in the production of new tubes without any loss of quality! The recycling process takes place with the help of our specially developed devulcanization process. The point of recycling is located right at our factory in Indonesia, further reducing the need for material transportation. Once all Schwalbe Recycling System operations (including transportation routes) are accounted for, only one fifth of the energy is consumed when compared to the production of new butyl rubber.

Key Details About the Recycling Program:

Recycling Process: The program uses a patented method to break down used butyl rubber.

Participating Locations: The program is available in many countries, including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, the UK, and North America.

How to Recycle: Cyclists can return their old tubes to participating bicycle dealers for free.

Other Brands Accepted: While it is the "Schwalbe Recycling System," the program often accepts other brands to help maximize the volume of materials.

Sustainability: Every new Schwalbe tube already contains 20% recycled material.

FAQ

Q: What makes Schwalbe tubes environmentally friendly? A: Every new Schwalbe tube contains 20% recycled material from old bicycle inner tubes. The recycling process uses only one-fifth of the energy compared to producing new butyl rubber, significantly reducing environmental impact.

Q: Can I recycle my old Schwalbe tubes? A: Yes, you can return your old tubes to participating bicycle dealers for free in many countries including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, the UK, and North America. The Schwalbe Recycling System often accepts other brands too.

Q: Does using recycled material affect the quality of the tube? A: No, there is no loss of quality. Schwalbe uses a specially developed patented devulcanization process that breaks down used butyl rubber and reprocesses it without compromising performance or durability.
