Puma and First Mile to launch sustainable collection

摘要

Puma is to launch a sustainable sportswear collection with First Mile, a company which supports low-income communities in Haiti, Honduras and Taiwan by collecting plastic bottles to produce recycled polyester. First Mile supports more than 4,000 people in its collection networks, recovering plastic bottles which would have otherwise continued to pollute the streets, canals and landfills of those communities. Using such bottles as a raw material source, First Mile produced more than 300 tons of recycled yarn in 2018. The collection, which will be available in stores in the first half of 2020, will consist of shoes and apparel featuring utility pockets and outdoor elements. To address several environmental and social issues in its supply chain and to make the whole company more sustainable, Puma has set out several targets in its 10FOR20 campaign. It recently announced that its 2020 target for the use of sustainable cotton was reached two years ahead of schedule.
