Before the coronavirus pandemic broke out, the fight to care for the environment was our main concern. Nike has not forgotten about all this and has launched a new shoe under the line Move To Zero. Turning waste into materials to make products is one of the most effective ways to reduce waste and your carbon footprint around the world.
VaporMax 2020 Flyknit with recycled materials
This shoe model is presented as its latest innovation designed with sustainability in mind. They are made with at least 50% recycled material by weight and have FlyeEase technology, so that all athletes join the Move to Zero commitment. To make it more credible, the sports brand has listed the recycled materials and its little innovation.
Nike Flyknit
It is a high-precision technology that produces, on average, a 60% less waste than with traditional shoe upper manufacturing processes. In 2019 alone, we prevented 31 million bottles of water from ending up in landfills.
Nike Fly Leather
Nike Flyleather technology is created with at least one 50% recycled leather fibers and generates less carbon emissions than traditional leather production. Flyleather also improves cutting efficiency and generates less waste than classic cut-and-sew methods for full-grain leather manufacturing.
Nike air
Since 1994, Nike Air soles contain at least one 50% recycled materials and since 2008 a 100% renewable energy for production at the AirMI (Air Manufacturing Innovation) facilities. They reuse more than 90% of the waste materials used in our Air soles to create new and cutting-edge cushioning systems.
recycled polyester
Since 2010, Nike has prevented more than 7.000 billion plastic bottles from ending up in landfills. Its recycled polyester is made from plastic bottles, pre-consumer textile scraps, and post-consumer garments.
Sustainable cotton
Since 2010, they have been moving towards 100% sustainable cotton. They promote the sustainability of their materials in three ways: using certified organic, recycled and BCI (Better Cotton Initiative) approved cotton.
sustainable combinations
By combining recycled polyester with organic cotton, they create a high-performance material that reduces carbon emissions, the manufacturing process of which uses less water and chemicals than blends of virgin polyester with conventionally grown cotton.
