Retexturing climbing holds: Volx commits to sustainable climbing

At Volx, our passion for climbing goes far beyond simply making innovative holds. Aware of the impact of our activity and the CO2 emissions it generates, we are committed to adopting a responsible and sustainable approach, which is essential for the future of our sport and our planet. With this in mind, in collaboration with Artline, we have launched Eco Climb'in, a service for retexturing climbing holds. This process not only extends the life of used holds, but also reduces their carbon footprint and environmental impact.

What is the retexturing of climbing holds?

Retexturing means giving new life to worn climbing holds, particularly those in our Volxume collection. Over time, the natural wear and tear caused by repeated use by climbers can alter the grip and texture of holds. This is where our expertise comes in to restore their performance.

The retexturing process enables :

Restore grip: by recreating the original texture, we improve the performance and comfort of holds for climbers.
Preserve durability: a retextured hold can extend its lifespan by several years, reducing the need to replace equipment.
Reduce costs: Reconditioning, regripping and reshaping your macros, volumes and holds can save you between 30% and 75% on the cost of new equipment.

What is Eco Climb'in?

Eco Climb'in, founded by Volx Holds and Artline in 2024, offers everyone the chance to retexture their climbing volumes, holds and macros. To date, over 2 tonnes of products have been retextured, saving over 15,134 kg of CO2. This service stands out for its simplicity, speed and the quality of its reconditioning process. The process:
