On abandoned fishing nets, or "ghost nets", represent a major ecological problem. They contribute to the spread of microplastics which are very harmful to marine life.
With millions of plastic bottle cages used by cyclists around the world each year, installing a Giant Airway Recycled Bottle Cage on your bike is a small gesture that has a big impact !
Airway Sport Recycled Bottle Cages
Giant Airway Sport bottle cages are made from recycled plastic fishing nets, which allows lower significantly the amount of CO2 issued during production.
54% of CO₂ less either only 150g of CO₂
More than a bottle holder, a global approach: Enviro
Recycled Airway bottle cages are part of the list of first products labeled EnviroThey are part of an environmentally friendly manufacturing process.
Created by Giant Group, the Enviro label symbolizes the group's path towards sustainability in the world of cycling. Products made from environmentally friendly materials and low carbon emission. These materials receive a new life, contributing to a more sustainable future.
Giant Airway bottle cages are available in a central insertion ou by the right side called “sidepull”.
Price: € 13,50
They are strong at Giant, like other manufacturers elsewhere: they charge more for equipment made from recycled products than for products made from raw materials!
Besides the eco-friendly bobos, who is going to spend more for the same product in the end? Isn't there a problem in the equation? That's not how they're going to save the planet.
The non-recycled Airway bottle cage is €10,50 compared to €13,50 for this model.
Bonsoir Guillaume,
Yes, that's exactly what I criticize, companies want to give themselves a good green image saying "we clean the oceans", "we recycle", "we reduce our CO2 emissions"... but they make you pay more for it!
This is really taking us for fools.
Hello Seb.
We must be aware that "cleaning the oceans", "recycling" and "reducing CO2 emissions" have a cost. The most polluting actions are unfortunately also the least expensive. It is up to us to see the world we want to leave behind.
