Satori Relife Enviro Wheels

Satori wheels in the States have started a process of recycling used skate wheels. According to the release, the polyurethane used in making the wheels does not naturally degrade and could not be broken down to make park benches or anything. After a few years of trying different things, the guys came up with a system or grinding the wheels down to form the core of new wheels. Called ‘Relife’ the wheels are flat-spot resistant and will likely have oil marks around the core from the bearings the last owner of the wheels used. It’s a great start for reducing the waste created from wheels. Head over here for more.
