Our cast iron plates are made from at least 80% recycled cast iron
Since 2018, our teams have been gradually integrating recycled materials until we reached the perfect balance. Following several years of experiments, Decathlon is replacing its entire range of cast iron products with recycled cast iron made from at least 80% scrap metal and steel waste – a real feat for the world of metal! To ensure that the quality is the same as classic cast iron, tests are carried out in partner laboratories.

Our advice for storing your cast iron weight training discs!
- To store your cast iron plates, you can use a wall mount for discs (ref: 8796727) or a storage rack (ref: 8788246) to install indoors (such as in a garage).- Do not store your weights outdoors or in a damp place, since cast iron risks rusting if exposed to moisture.- Dust your discs with a microfibre cloth when they have been stored for a long time.
