Since our beginning, Sterling has recycled or repurposed most of our waste yarn, production and packaging materials. In 2008, Sterling initiated the first dynamic rope recycling program in the country, taking back dynamic ropes, whether ours or those made elsewhere. |
Some ropes are upcycled into new products. Others, having outlived their useful lives, are sent to processors who either grind or melt the rope into nylon pellets that can then be used to make a variety of different products such as carpet fiber, fleece, telephones, skateboards and dog toys to name a few. |
