Watch Satori’s ‘Re-Life’ Recycled Wheel Program In Action
Today, Satori Wheels released a video giving you a behind-the-scenes look at its wheel-recycling program that promises to save literal tons of wheels from ending up in landfills. And it’s not even Earth Day! Dubbed ‘Re-Life,’ Satori is currently working closely with skate shops, distributors, and individual skateboarders to collect used wheels; after cleaning them, the brand shaves them down to a consistent size and then remolds them with its High Grade urethane for a new riding surface. This is a first for the skate industry, and it’s about time… these wheels really get a-round.
As you may already know, urethane is a non-sustainable substance. Once a wheel is made it does not decompose. To slow down the rate of waste, Satori is looking for skaters worldwide to contribute their old wheels (any brand works) to their local shop. The first run of Re-Life wheels are available now at a shop near you and online. For more info, visit Satori’s Re-Life page here, and see for yourself how the sustainable skate sausage is made in the video hosted by Karl Watson, above!
