Materials
Butyl Rubber, Bicycle Inner Tubes, Washable snap

Oswestry, Shropshire
Description

This keychain is made of an old bicycle inner tube. It's flexible, resilient, and wipe clean. It has black stitching and a silver-coloured washable snap to easily attach the keychain to bag handles, wear around your wrist, etc. There's a D ring and one key ring, but plenty of room for more. This one has some additional character from its previous life: some textured ribbing and a worn yellow stamp, mostly visible on the inside of the keychain. Check out my other listings for other keychains. Inner tubes are made from soft butyl rubber so won't scratch surfaces, won't be damaged by water, and the resilient material isn't damaged by being scrunched up. The tubes are sourced from local bike shops. They'd normally end up in landfill as most people wouldn't pay a mechanic's time to do a puncture repair - instead a new one's fitted and the old one discarded. These have been saved from that fate, helping the bike shops reduce their waste and keeping useful materials out of landfill. While all inner tubes are washed thoroughly before being remade into new products, they may still mark light surfaces. NB: Please ignore any white dot stickers in the images. They're for stock-taking purposes and shouldn't be included with the item you receive.
