Climb. Recycle. Repeat.
Share
In the world of climbing, climbing ropes are indispensable companions. They are not only vital for safety, but often also the vehicles of countless adventures and experiences. But what happens when climbing ropes have reached the end of their lifespan? Are they simply thrown away to make room for new ones? Not necessarily. With our project, we have a different vision – we give old climbing ropes a second life.
Recycling old climbing ropes – How can you dispose of old climbing ropes?
Old climbing ropes don't have to end up in the trash. Recycling and upcycling can give them a second life and help protect the environment. Become a rope donor and donate yours to combat the throwaway society. Together, we can help keep nature clean and preserve memories of past adventures. Ready to donate your old climbing ropes? Join our project and help create something new. There are various ways to keep old climbing ropes in circulation.
Here you can find our collection points:
- Graz: soulseil, Brockmanngasse 108, 8010 Graz (please contact us in advance via our contact form or directly via info@soulseil.com ).
- By mail: If you send us your rope by mail, we will of course reimburse you for the shipping costs. You can get more information about the process by emailing info@soulseil.com . Simply contact us to find out more about how you can dispose of your old ropes.
Feel free to attach a note to your rope with your name and address, and we will make you a key ring from your rope as a thank you for your donation.
How does the recycling and upcycling of climbing ropes work?
At soulseil, we take old climbing ropes and subject them to a careful recycling process. First, the ropes are cleaned and checked for quality. Then, depending on their condition, they are used for creative upcycling projects. Each "new" product carries the story of the old climbing rope within it, becoming a unique and sustainable accessory.
This not only reduces waste, but also conserves resources and thus contributes to a more sustainable future.
