We will continually contribute to social, economical and environmental sustainability, as well as the fulfilment of our relevant activities.
TREADLIGHTLY
We are a proud partner of Treadlightly, a national recycling program that takes unwanted sport and active lifestyle footwear and responsibly recycles it to give it new life.
Participation in this initiative is part of our commitment to take accountability for footwear waste in Australia. Treadlightly is an industry-led program empowering brands, retailers and consumers to save footwear from landfill. 110 million shoes make their way to Australia each year, 1/4 of these are sport shoes - it can take up to 1000 years for a sport shoe to decompose. Treadlightly exists to solve this problem.
How it works: Take your pre-loved footwear to one of the 400+ national collection sites where they will be sorted and extracted responsibly to be then given new life in products such as gym mats, flooring for retail stores and playgrounds.
Tradlightly's goal is to collect over one million pairs of footwear from Australians to recycle by 2023. Together we can step up for the planet.
100% RECYCLED SHOE BOX
From January 2022 all new season's product will now arrive in a 100% recycled shoebox(previously 80%) and the shoebox itself will also be recyclable. This switch will be applied to all categories of Mizuno shoes worldwide and is expected toreduce CO2 emissionsby 160 tons per year compared to conventional shoe boxes.
