The world we share is extremely important to us and our commitment to exploring sustainable alternatives is key to our whole product design and development process. As our journey to be greener continues, this season we see an increase in our use of recycled PU, with 75% of all PU used for main uppers coming from recycled plastics. Approved by Global Recycled Standards, these post-consumer recycled polyester and polyvinyl options are featured across selected men's, women's and children's styles. In addition to this some styles will feature a recycled polyester lining.
These are key steps to reducing our impact wherever possible, we don't stop learning and there's more we want to do.
