TREADLIGHTLY SPORTS SHOE RECYCLING
Australia imports over 25 million pairs of sports shoes each year, with only around 1% estimated to be recycled. These shoes can take up to 1,000 years to decompose in landfill.
To address this environmental challenge, we have teamed up with the Australian Sporting Goods Association (ASGA) to support the TreadLightly program. TreadLightly is a nationwide initiative dedicated to the responsible recycling of unwanted lifestyle footwear in Australia.
The program processes reclaimed materials into crumb, which is then used to produce new items such as gym mats, flooring, and playground surfaces.
Many of our stores serve as TreadLightly collection points. However, you can also search for the nearest collection point and find more details on the TreadLightly website.
