Nike launched Recycling & Donation - a way for consumers to pass on their gear to be recycled or donate it to communities in need. Recycling & Donation is an evolution of Nike’s global Reuse-a-Shoe program, which began in 1992 as a pioneering in-store service that conved previously owned shoes into Nike Grind, a versatile recycled material. Nike increased its use of recycled polyester in apparel by 12 percent, and recycled poly makes up 38 percent of its total polyester usage in footwear, double what was used in the previous year. These efforts help Nike get closer to its 2025 sustainability targets, like putting at least 80 percent of Nike’s extended supply chain waste back into new products.
