Outdoor brand Vaude is working with chemicals manufacturer BASF to use polyamides from recycled tyres to make a range of trousers that will be suitable for trekking and other activities.

It will take a year for the garments to become available in stores, but work is ongoing. The trekking trousers will be made from material that the companies have described as “robust and simple to repair”.
They are using polyamides from chemically recycled scrap tyres, reducing waste and lowering the use of non-renewable raw materials.
