recycling of climbing shoes in the Netherlands REcycle

The Clean Climber Foundation works together with gyms, where climbers can drop off their worn shoes. The worn shoes are transported to Sympany, who recycles and separates the materials. About half the weight of a climbing shoe is made from rubber, this material is shredded and transported to Stockz. Stockz is blending worn car tire rubber and climbing shoe rubber to produce exercise mats for climbing gyms.
