Sustainable Bicycle Components Made of Plastic
At igus, quality and sustainability are at the heart of production. But how do plastic and sustainability align? It’s simple: plastic bicycle components consume significantly less energy during production compared to aluminum or carbon, resulting in a smaller CO2 footprint. They are also much easier to recycle than competing materials. In fact, some igus:bike® components are already made using recycled plastics.
The company is committed to manufacturing products entirely from recycled materials and taking them back at the end of their lifecycle. These materials are then repurposed for new products, supporting a circular economy. Another advantage: with production based in Cologne, igus eliminates the need for long shipping routes, further reducing environmental impact.
High-performance plastics + advanced engineering = the game-changing igus:bike!
For over 30 years, igus® has manufactured products like plain bearings, rod ends, gears, and guide rails for the bicycle industry. Now, igus® takes the next step as a bicycle component manufacturer. Drawing on decades of plastics expertise and the development of the 2022 igus:bike, these new components are crafted from igus®' signature high-performance plastic.

THE VISION - Yesterday's waste for tomorrow's mobility
The Vision Behind the igus:bike Project
The igus:bike project, now renamed RCYL, was inspired by a bold vision: transforming global plastic waste dumps into resources for recycled bicycles. Through the newly established igus:bike platform, we aim to collaborate with other bicycle and component manufacturers to develop a sustainable, rust-free, and maintenance-free alternative for urban mobility.
Our journey begins with a partnership with mtrl to create a bicycle made of over 90% plastic, the majority of which is recycled.
