try the unique roetz bikes at our
fair factory
At Roetz, we believe in second chances and pursue a circular and inclusive future. We don’t judge a book by its cover: where others see waste and inability, we see useful materials and promising talent. At the Amsterdam-based Roetz Fair Factory, men and women returning to the job market make new bikes from discarded ones. By hand and with pride. We train them to become skilled bicycle technicians and do everything in our power to help them find permanent employment.

The idea: by re-working parts and materials that are too good to be thrown away, we give them a second life. Today, we achieve 30% circularity with our Roetz-Bikes and even 70% by re-working the OV-
What's next? We want to be the first to make a 100% circular bike. This is our dream. We believe that sustainable and convenient mobility should be available to a broad public.
