Recycled materials

In several pilot projects, research and development teams experimented with recycling waste to make new upper, outsole and insole materials for sports shoes. To meet high quality and performance standards, different mixes of new and recycled materials were tried and feedback from customers was considered.

Although recycled materials cannot always replace new materials in performance products, they are increasingly used in the specific product ranges such as adidas Grün, which was launched in spring 2008.
