How to recycle your camping gas canister
Introduction
We think that for every new piece of gear purchased, there should be a convenient way to upcycle or recycle the old, with limited hassle and the lowest possible environmental impact.
That's why we've teamed up with Nordica and Tecnica with their innovative project: 'Recycle Your Boots'. This initiative will transform your old ski boots, from any brand, into second-generation pieces of material when you buy a new pair of Nordica or Tecnica boots.
Some of those materials are made into new ski boot components such as metal in the buckles and plastic in the insole wedges inside the shell.
Nordica is still working on and committed to finding a long-term solution for the old liners. One promising solution is to shred them and use the materials in the production of crash mats that would be used in ski resorts that you may visit.
We know that ‘Recycle Your Boots’ isn't a complete solution for your old ski boot disposal right now. But it will keep most of the old materials in use, out of landfills or being burned for energy. There are also significant savings in the raw materials, energy and carbon used when using recycled plastic – more information here.
We're proud to be a partner in this innovative scheme and look forward to working with Nordica to reduce the environmental impact of ski boots during their lifecycle.
Where can I recycle my ski boots?

Please ensure your boots are clean and the inner is dry before donating.
