Every Schwalbe soul is 100% recyclable. Without loss of quality, we can use recycled material in the production of new souls. We have developed a special devulcanization process in our factory and it has been proving to be very successful for several years. Every standard Schwalbe tube consists of 20% recycled old tubes.

Taking into account all transport routes, the energy balance is positive. Only a fifth of the energy used is compared to the production of new butyl.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LATEX SOULS?
Tubes made of latex are more flexible than conventional butyl tubes. That makes them a little easier. Their biggest advantage is the high level of puncture protection. Highly elastic latex material is very difficult to pierce.

The disadvantage lies in poorer air stability. The latex tube must be inflated to the correct pressure before each ride. This explains why latex tubes are not suitable for everyday use.

In addition, latex tubes are very soft and sensitive to oil, daylight, heat and uneven expansion. The tube must be replaced each time the tire is changed.

As these properties lead to many problems, latex tubes are not in our offer.
