Adidas sets ambitious target for recycled polyester
Adidas has said that all the polyester it uses from now on will be from recycled ocean waste.

The company’s head of global brands, Eric Leidtke, said this equates to 260 million t-shirts per year. “Not only will we be taking 260 million t-shirts out of the oceans, we would not be creating 260 million t-shirts worth of new polyester every year,” he said.
