High performance thermoplastic bicycle frame

Rein4ced
While many in the industry claim recyclability, few have taken real steps to implement it. Our innovation turns those claims into action. Through our closed-loop recycling process, we reuse production waste—specifically, trimmings from blank cuts—to create new frame components. This dramatically reduces material waste and represents a meaningful step towards a circular economy.

Why and Whom

Our innovation is a high-performance thermoplastic carbon frame that reuses production waste through a closed-loop process. It combines elite performance with true sustainability, paving the way for circular production and marking the first step toward a fully sustainable manufacturing model.

Key Benefits

REIN4CED has developed the closed-loop production process with early R&D support from the KU Leuven. This innovative process recycles in-house production waste into a high-performance compound, which is then used into a new bike frame, reducing material waste. In collaboration with Focus Bikes (PON.bike), this bicycle will be brought to market and combines sustainability with top-tier performance.
