INNOVATING MATERIALS
Sustainability never rests. We’re constantly rethinking and reinventing the materials that go into each and every one of our products.
Nike Flynit
Nike Flyknit is precision-engineered with an average of 60% less waste than traditional footwear upper manufacturing. In the fabrication of Flyknit, 31 million water bottles were diverted from landfills in 2019 alone.
Nike Flyleather
Nike Flyleather is made with at least 50% recycled leather fiber and has a smaller carbon footprint than traditional leather manufacturing. Flyleather also improves cutting efficiency and creates less waste than traditional cut-and-sew methods for full-grain leather.
Nike Air
Nike Air soles designed since 1994 contain at least 50% recycled manufacturing waste and since 2008 have been made with 100% renewable energy at our AirMI facilities. We reuse more than 90% of the waste from materials used for our Air soles to make new, innovative cushioning systems.
Recycled Polyester
Since 2010, Nike has diverted more than 7 billion plastic bottles from landfills. Our recycled poly is made from plastic bottles, pre-consumer textile scraps, and post-consumer garments.
Sustainable Cotton
Since 2010, we've been on a drive toward 100% sustainable cotton. Certified organic, recycled, and Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) are three ways that we are pushing sustainability in our materials.
Sustainable Blends
Combining recycled polyester and organic cotton creates a performance material that reduces carbon emissions and uses less water and chemicals than virgin polyester blends with conventionally grown cotton.
STORIES OF SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability affects every part of our lives, just as it affects every part of our business. Here’s what we’re doing to make radical changes now, and into the future.
