Published

on

Have you participated in the Satori Wheels Re-Life program? This is how your old skateboard wheels are given a new life.

The new Re-Life sets are made from 70% post-consumer material.

If you want to donate your old wheels, go to this page for the list of drop-off centers. Satori accepts any brand of wheels as long as it meets the following requirements:

  • Must be at least 45 mm in diameter or bigger.
  • The bearing seats are still good.
  • Only hard wheels can be recycled (92A or harder).

What happens to the shaved-off parts of the old wheels? They are collected and sent to another organization, Shred Cycle, which repurposes these shreds into new materials like the ones below.
