Limited recycling resources means that much of this waste is either sent to landfill where materials leak lead and zinc into the soil, or incineration where 3 tonnes of CO2 are produced per one tonne of rubber incinerated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Velorim aims to tackle the issue by making the recycling of these materials as easy as possible for the cycling community. Through offering a recycling collection scheme at local bike shops, the service is set up to make recycling as convenient and cheap as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since starting collections in 2020, Velorim has collected more than 150,000 tyres and 150,000 inner tubes for recycling. To help them achieve their goal of doubling collection points by 2026, co-founders of Velorim Russ Taylor and Richard Lawrence are calling on cyclists to nominate their local bike shop, repairers and mechanics to join the scheme:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe know that cyclists tend to take an active approach to ecological and environmental matters and our service is there to support this ethos. We have made a steady growth since starting our business in 2020, but we know there are still many areas across the country that we\u2019re yet to reach. We\u2019re calling on bike retailers and the cycling community to embrace the service and support us in our mission to make cycling even greener. Cyclists can nominate local bike businesses to sign up to the scheme.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Velorim currently has more than 600 collection points across the UK.
