+90%

ID.EIGHT IS AN ACTIVE PART OF THE CHANGE

There is not only the environmental impact linked to the production phases, but also that which is generated at the end of a product's life cycle.

To reduce the accumulation of waste to be disposed of and transform it from waste into a resource, we have entered into a partnership with two Italian companies that support sustainable businesses in circular economy solutions: Must Had and Eso Recycling.

Thanks to this alliance we are able to offer our customers the possibility of disposing of old and unusable sneakers in a recycling plant that allows us to extend their possibilities of use.

How does recycling happen?

ESO RECYCLING has patented an industrial process for recycling sports waste. The plant in their Tolentino headquarters is able to recover 87% of the materials that make up a pair of sneakers, with the future goal of reaching 95%.

Specifically, by crushing the soles, rubber granules are obtained for the construction of flooring in athletics tracks and playgrounds, while the uppers produce a material for the production of sound-absorbing or heat-insulating panels.

Impact Report

Every year we take care of drawing up our impact report, a balance sheet that explains the environmental impacts generated by the initiative.
