Nice Article published in Climbing Business Journal, sharing some of our ideas: 

Experiments to produce recyclable climbing holds, it should be noted, have been around for years. Finland-based Greengrip Oy, for instance, started making climbing holds over 15 years ago and, according to the company’s website, today “all [their] climbing holds are unique and 100% recyclable.”
“I started manufacturing climbing holds in 2006 with the idea of eliminating toxic polystyrene and polyurethane used in commercially available climbing holds,” says Admir Hadzic, Greengrip’s founder and CEO. “Over the years, I have tried to introduce bio-based materials into different types of climbing hold mixtures. Ideas about recyclable climbing holds, more environmentally friendly materials for climbing holds, as well as safer holds for me started more than 20 years ago. We never had any massive manufacturing, but small handmade unique product lines.”
