REUP
THE PAD FOR
CYCLING RECYCLED
ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE

Commitment to the fight against climate change is also embodied in the actions of all those companies that know and will optimize production steps without negatively impacting the environment.

Virtuous recycling practices allow for the recovery of materials and material scraps that have reached their end-of-life, so as to raise the eco-friendly standards to which all companies, including those in cycling products, should refer.

Teosport is proud to do its part in protecting the environment by making the first remanufactured eco-friendly performance pad for cycling shorts.

The goal was achieved after some time, mainly due to the company’s vertical business structure, which carries out in-house not only R&D but also the production stages. Indeed, this organizational model allows constant control of the production chain.

ECO-FRIENDLY BIKE BOTTOMS: WHY THEY ARE SO IMPORTANT

The standard process for producing bottoms involves cutting out the roll of fabric, laminated with foam, to obtain the desired product shape. The excess foam is fleshed out and the whole is shaped by heat to obtain the finished
product.

The scrap resulting from the cutting and fleshing stages is collected and destined for disposal in landfills as waste.

Teosport has decided to turn discarded foam into an element to be used in making new eco-friendly cycling pads.

The innovative process developed by Teosport to create environmentally sustainable cycling pads involves recovering scraps from excess foam by performing a series of processes on them aimed at obtaining new support inserts.

The resulting inserts, after being reshaped, are applied to bases made from recycled fabrics.

This process allows production waste to have a new life, providing excellent performance for sports cyclists and contributing to the fight against climate change.

Bike pads are crucial accessories for the well-being of cyclists and their performance: they are pads made from a combination of different materials, different shapes and technologies to protect men’s and women’s private parts.

Teosport’s environmentally sustainable cycling pads are the result of an ongoing study toward innovation and a sincere enthusiasm for environmental issues. ReUp was born from the intention to extend the life cycle of materials destined for the scrap heap by making new performance pads without impacting the environment.

Thanks to the ReUp process, it is possible to recover parts of leftover materials from previous processing, remodeling new components and using them to make additional products. In this way, it is possible to optimize the use of raw materials while drastically decreasing the amount of waste going to landfill.

This process also allows us to reduce the environmental impact from the normal demands of raw and semi-finished materials, transportation and production steps. From an initial estimate, the production of ReUp cycling pads allows us to reduce production waste by 90 percent.

Teosport firmly believes in the principles of circular economy and environmental sustainability, and for years has continued to do its part to bring increasingly ecofriendly cycling accessories to the market.

The process of obtaining GRS certification for ReUp holsters is currently underway.
