Sportswear giant Adidas says this year it will use more than 60 per cent recycled polyester across its product range.
The German outfit’s ambition is to only use recycled polyester by 2024 – a target it looks on course to meet after last year achieving the milestone of 50 per cent recycled polyester.
“Sustainability is an integral part of the Adidas business philosophy,” commented CEO Kasper Rorsted. “We have continued to invest in sustainability initiatives during the coronavirus pandemic and we will significantly expand our range of sustainable products by 2021.”
