MIZUNO SG UPCYCLING PROJECT
As part of Mizuno’s global vision to realize a sustainable society, Mizuno Singapore joined in on local environmental conservation activities in September 2021.
In collaboration with B. T. Sports Pte. Ltd, a project to repurpose used Mizuno business waste by recycling them to become sports infrastructures such as jogging tracks, fitness corners and playgrounds are well underway.
Continue reading for behind the scenes scoop of the recycling process!
STEP 1: SORTING MIZUNO'S DEVELOPMENT SAMPLES
All rubberised shoes including sports shoes, school shoes and football boots without metal studs are accepted. Rubberized slippers and sandals without metal parts may be accepted too.
Step 2: Unpacking at the Facility
Preparation and inspection of the donated shoes were done by B. T. Sports Pte. Ltd.
Step 3: Grinding Shoes into Rubber Granules
The shoes are sent into a grinding machine where they are shredded into rubber granules.
What you see above are shoes that are converted into granular materials to be used for sports infrastructure including jogging tracks and fitness corners.
