Re-Use of ropes

Ideas for using ropes after they have been retired.

We always try to use the raw materials used in rope production as responsibly as possible and avoid waste. Therefore we are happy to introduce you to projects that share this idea and find other uses for used ropes. 


ne-ia

Wallets out of used MAXIM Platinum

This is what ne-ia says about herself:

"ne-ia is my small company located in Vorarlberg (Austria). Since 2014 I am producing individual accessories made of used high end climbing ropes.
The goal is – besides the re-/upcycling of the rope – to create handmade unique products with their own stories.
My products are expressing my passion for climbing, nature and my origin."

This small company produced handmade wallets with a cover of used MAXIM Platinum. But there the story doesn't end. This particular rope was used by Austrian climber Michi Kemeter for his first ascent of “Tortour” the hardest multipitch east of Salzburg (the hardest is meanwhile “Weg durch Hedis Kaiserschmarren” which was as well first ascended by Mich).
