A new flavor in comfort, meet Stracciatella!
Our classic, creamy foam stuffed with tasty chips of used saddles.
Stracciatella foam is a proprietary technology by Selle Royal that allows new padding material to be created from grinding old or defeated saddles.
Striving towards a more responsible production model
Like any quality-driven industrial process, saddle production creates a certain amount of waste.
This particular waste is especially difficult to recycle since it consists of various assembled materials which cannot be easily separated and reused in their original form. Therefore, for years, Selle Royal has been working hard to find a way in which to responsibly repurpose these production scraps.
Circular Innovation: the stages of Stracciatella
With Stracciatella, we have developed a method for "circular re-usage" which takes place in three simple steps:
- Collect: We gather discarded saddles and excess scrap materials from our production and testing processes.
- Grind: These items are mechanically ground and transformed into a uniform black powder.
- Recycle: This powder is then injected into the foam that fills new saddles, thus reducing waste and promoting a circular production model.
No compromises on comfort
Stracciatella represents a big step ntowards sustainability—one that importantly, doesn’t come at the cost of comfort. Throughout every stage of this process, our commitment to supporting riders remains the same.
After all, comfort is the cornerstone of every saddle we create and will continue to be so as we move towards a more eco-friendly future.
