Nike Grind. Invent Better.

Closing the Loop

How It's Made

Nike is constantly striving for the best, creating value for business and innovating for a better world. Nike's vision is that our products will be “closed loop” – that is, they will use the fewest possible materials and be assembled in ways that allow them to be readily recycled into new products. Our long term vision is to create a continuous loop without waste. As a company, we are innovating materials and manufacturing processes as we work towards finding a solution to this complex issue. Examples of how this comes to life are our Reuse-A-Shoe and Nike Grind programs. Whether it's a worn-out shoe that's sliced and refined or repurposed manufacturing scrap, the end results are the same. Sustainable, long-lasting materials designed for professional level performance.
