Nike Water Program Chalks Up Another Dual Win in China
For almost six years, Nike has championed wastewater recycling as one of the main strategies to reduce our freshwater footprint and to minimize the amount of wastewater discharged into the environment. This strategy is paying off. By the end of Nike’s 2019 fiscal year (FY19) , we reduced our global freshwater use by 25.4 percent vs. our 2020 target of a 20 percent reduction (on a liters/kg basis) from a FY16 baseline.
Collaboration and Innovative Technology Enable Defect Waste Reduction
Over the last year, Nike has worked with 17 factories that drive 90% of its injection phylon (IP) midsole defect waste globally to implement the Stella tracking system or similar systems based on the same principles. This has prevented 450,000 KGs of waste, saved $1.6M, and prevented 2.1M KGs of CO2e.
PARTNERING TO HELP CREATE A ZERO WASTE FUTURE
Nike has two 2020 Targets related to waste reduction. First, reducing to zero footwear manufacturing waste to landfill or incineration. Second, reducing waste by 10% in footwear manufacturing. Nike suppliers in China have been leading the way in achieving these goals.
