Recycle with us. Schwalbe is proud to introduce the first Cradle-to-Cradle bicycle tube recycling program in the United States.  Used tubes become new tubes. At Schwalbe, we believe that environmental responsibility is everyone's responsibility. This is why we are committed to reducing waste and promoting a full, closed-loop recycling system.  Our program is designed to reduce the environmental impact of bicycle tubes by recycling them into new, high-quality tubes.  This process, decreases energy consumption by over 80% (including transport) compared to utilizing the same amount of virgin material. The Cradle-to-Cradle design philosophy is a sustainable approach to product manufacturing. It aims to create a closed-loop system where materials are continuously reused, and waste is eliminated.  This process is the foundation of the tube recycling program. The program aims to minimize waste, conserve resources, and create a circular economy in which products are designed to be reused forever.  For us at Schwalbe, the Cradle-to-Cradle design philosophy has been the inspiration for many years. Our closed-loop recycling process starts with collecting used bicycle tubes of any brand or manufacturer from bike shops and enthusiasts. Once a bike shop collects between 35-45lbs of tubes, they will schedule shipment and pickup date via custom UPS portal. The tubes are then sent back to Schwalbe free of charge to the dealer. Starting June 1st, 2023, Schwalbe will begin a pilot program accepting used tubes from select dealers throughout the United States.  The program will  grow to include hundreds of dealers by the end of the year.   Our program is an example of how innovative thinking and environmental responsibility can lead to sustainable solutions. By working together, we can reduce waste, conserve natural resources, and create a better future for everyone. Join us on this journey towards a more sustainable world, one bicycle tube at a time.
