20,000 tires collected, and now recycled

For 23 years, specialist bicycle dealer Ingo Ruhland collected used tires at his bike store of the same name in Frising, Bavaria. In the hope that the tires could eventually be recycled instead of incinerated. Now the time has come and the 20'000 tires are rolling into recycling.

Ingo Ruhland says: "I always hoped that one day some company from the tire industry would manage to offer real recycling. That has now worked - a big thank you to Schwalbe."

The tires first had to be carried out of a former beer cellar and then stacked in a truck container. Now the cellar is empty and used tires that accumulate at Radl Ruhland in the future will now end up in the Schwalbe Recycling System's recycling box and will be collected regularly.
