Upcycled tractor inner tube bat key ring

Bat key ring made from tractor inner tube

Bat keyring made from a tractor inner tube originally destined for the scrap heap.

The keyring has a carabiner for hanging on a trouser loop or bag, and a keyring ring inside for hanging keys.

It opens with one or two (depending on the size of the keyring) snap(s)

And it closes by folding back the bat's wings to hide and protect keys.

You can choose between 2 models (see drop-down menu):
- the small one: 8cm high (not including carabiner), suitable for a single key
- the large one: 10cm high (not including carabiner), suitable for carrying up to 4 keys

The inner tube design/pattern may vary from model to model depending on what is recovered, but this "pattern" always remains very light if it exists.

My aim is to recycle as much as possible.

Here in Strasbourg (and the surrounding area), there is no channel for re-processing or recovering inner tubes, so they are, at best, burned with energy recovery...

So I decided to collect as many as possible from repair shops and private individuals, to turn them into various objects, give them a second life and thus avoid unnecessary waste.

Nothing gets lost, everything gets transformed!
