RECYCLE YOUR BOOTS - The Tecnica Group with Tecnica & Nordica recycles your old ski boots!

Tecnica Group is contributing to a greener, better future with its new "Recycle Your Boots" project.
Since even small contributions have an impact, we at Sport65 are of course taking part in this project.
Plastic waste is one of the biggest problems / challenges of our time.
However, plastic per se is not a bad material. Since Tecnica's and Nordica´s ski boots are mainly made of plastic, the company wants to take action and do its part to improve the situation and give a second life to a ski boot that really can't be used anymore!
And not just recycle the plastic - the entire boot is dismantled, the aluminium parts are recycled and after shredding, filling material is obtained from the inner shoes.
The recycled plastic is used to make parts of the new ski boots and other plastic objects.

How does it work?

• You buy a new ski boot at Sport65.
• You hand in your "old" ski boot to us for recycling (Exception touring shoes with fixed Vibram sole!)
• We at Sport65 collect the old ski boots until they are worth transporting
• The old boots are collected from us by FERCAM
• The company LaPrima Plastics disassembles the ski boots into their individual parts.
• The recovered secondary raw materials are reprocessed
• The University of Padua supervises the whole process

Tecnica's "Recycle Your Boots" project was accepted and financially supported by the LIFE programme, a support programme for environmental, nature and climate protection.
