Canyon Bicycles has announced a collaboration agreement with IperionX Limited to develop a more sustainable titanium supply chain through the production of bicycle components using IperionX’s 100% recycled and low carbon titanium.
The potential for Canyon to develop components with IperionX’s 100% recycled titanium aligns with its ambitions to use innovative material and reach its environmental goals.
IperionX is working closely with Canyon’s product development and ESG teams to produce bicycle components using IperionX’s low-carbon, recycled titanium metal powders via additive manufacturing methods.
The parties have agreed upon an initial project to prototype Canyon bicycle parts, including for bicycle frames, using IperionX’s 100% recycled titanium produced by IperionX.
Alison Jones, Canyon chief operating officer, said: “We’re delighted to have formed this working relationship with IperionX.
“Connecting IperionX to our product development and ESG teams is allowing us to identify bicycle components that can be produced using their low-cost, low-carbon, fully recycled titanium powders.
“This is a real breakthrough technology for us and we look forward to deploying this innovative technology in the production of more sustainable titanium for use in Canyon bicycles.”
