Circularity
Reduce CO2 emissions and other environmental impacts by using less materials, creating products for longer use, and circulating resources.
Targets
Targets
- 100% recycled polyester to replace standard polyester materials in shoes and sportwear products by 2030.
- 3 regions have take-back programs to reuse or recycle products and materials by 2030.
- 98% waste recovered or recycled at our direct operations by 2023.
Action plan onward
- Continue to expand the use of recycled polyester across all product categories. Strengthen partnership with suppliers.
- Continue our approach towards circular economy through product design and creating new options to reuse or recycle materials from both inside and outside of our industries.
ASICS Circular Approach
Circularity is built into the ASICS design philosophy: from the inception of a product to its end of life, we take steps to support circularity to reduce CO₂ emissions. This means using more recycled (and recyclable) materials, reducing and repurposing waste, making more durable products and offering take-back services to consumers.
Sustainable materials and processes for a sound earth
Our target is to switch 100% of the polyester used in our shoes and sportwear products to be recycled polyester. This will help us achieve our science-based target and contribute to making our products more sustainable.
