During the summer of 2003 in Seattle, WA, product engineer and bike commuter Eli Reich had his messenger bag stolen. Being an industrious sort (as well as an avid cyclist), he decided to make himself a replacement out of materials he had in abundance: used bicycle inner tubes.
With a sewing machine gifted to him by his mom, he crafted the perfect messenger bag: cool, urban, water-resistant, and totally indestructible. He wore it with pride, and told friends who admired it what it was made out of: used bike tubes and a reclaimed seatbelt as a strap.
Pretty soon, those inquiries from friends grew into requests for Eli to make them one too. He filled one request, than another. Pretty soon, word of mouth spread, and Eli was scrambling to fill orders on nights and weekends. Finally, in August of 2004, he quit his day job, cleaned out his basement and launched Alchemy Goods with the motto of “Turning useless into useful.” By end of 2006, Alchemy Goods had 3 employees and a workshop space, with a few bags in local Seattle boutiques as well as REI.
As soon as Alchemy Goods got into REI, however, it faced a problem: even though the company was collecting used tubes from every willing bike shop in Seattle, Ag was still running low on tubes. What to do? Eli tasked one of his three employees with calling bike repair shops across the US to see if they’d like to recycle used tubes with Alchemy Goods. By the end of the summer of 2007, hundreds of shops across the US were sending their used tubes to Ag and proudly telling their customers about our recycling program. Alchemy Goods now has 550 shops participating in its recycling program, ranging from local and independently-owned shops, to Trek Dealers and REI stores.
