Is your work table, hobby cabinet or attic room also full of leftover rope that you’ll no longer use or are you simply ready for another challenge? With Paracycle, you can give these ropes a second life so that they won't end up in the trash.
Paracycle is our sustainability program where unused rope is not thrown away, but given a second chance. If you have a bigger quantity of rope left over, you can return it in exchange for a compensation.
Would you like to join this program? Below you find the terms and conditions and how to return the materials.
Conditions
To return rope for compensation, you must return at least 1 kilos of rope (around 160 metres).
You can return these rope types as part of Paracycle:
- Micro cord (1.2 and 1.4 mm)
- Paracord type I
- Paracord type II
- Paracord type III
- Paracord type IV
- Paracord type V
- Paracord 650
- Paracord Max - 6 mm
Example of the contents of a package that would qualify: 250 grams of micro cord, 200 grams of paracord 650, 150 grams of paracord type III, and 400 grams of paracord type II.
This is what the rope must comply with:
- The rope is from Paracord.eu
- The rope is clean and has no damage
- Colour and type match what is mentioned in the contact form
- The rope is free of animal hair, smell of smoke or other odours
- The rope is at least 1 metres in one piece
