A new benchmark in environmental friendliness: Schwalbe and Pyrum present the first bicycle tire that closes the loop. The “Green Marathon“ is also made from 100% fair trade natural rubber and consists of a total of 70% recycled and renewable materials.
Pyrum Innovations AG and bicycle tyre manufacturer Ralf Bohle GmbH (brand: “Schwalbe“) have developed the world‘s first bicycle tyre made from recycled tyres. In the process, 100% recovered carbon black (rCB) from Pyrum is used to manufacture the “Green Marathon“, which serves as a direct product of the recycling process and replaces fossil carbon black. …

Together with Schwalbe, we will continue to work on creating environmentally friendly solutions for the tyre industry and continuously expand recycling opportunities.“ …
