The study also highlighted that the rate of recycling had barely budged even as plastic production had exploded, creating a \u201cpressing global environmental challenge\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the growing international concern, there has been \u201ca notable lack of comprehensive analysis of plastics along their supply chain,\u201d wrote Quanyin Tan and colleagues, according to AFP. The sports industry generates its own set of waste that needs to be disposed off sustainably. The sports industry already generates a considerable amount of waste as plastic\u2019s low quality and durability make it a popular choice for sports equipment. Products like shoes, helmets, and racquets use common plastics like polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyurethane (PU). Though useful, the materials do not decompose naturally, contributing to long-lasting waste when the equipment is discarded.<\/p>\n<p>Internationally, companies like Adidas and Nike, among others have already embraced this change by bringing more sustainable products in their respective stores. Adidas has come up with shoes made from ocean plastic, while Nike is incorporating recycled materials into its product. Other brands are also embracing new materials such as bamboo, bioplastics and hemp as eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastics. Besides, some brands have consciously reduced using single-use plastic in their stores. For instance, Decathlon, as part of its sustainability efforts, has eliminated 1,663 tonnes of single-use plastic across its entire value chain by 2024. This includes reduction across sectors such as transport and sales, hangers, packaging, single-use plastic consumables in warehouses and shops. Decathlon reported a 57% reduction in single-use plastic usage internationally, achieved through eliminating plastic packaging and hangers in stores.<\/p>\n<p>Source:<a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.outlookbusiness.com\/planet\/circularity\/sustainable-sports-retail-plastic-pollution\"> Outlook Business<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-718\/\">Can Sustainable Practices in Sports Retail Tackle Global Plastic Pollution?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,1],"tags":[575,759,19009,655],"class_list":["post-140744","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-yleinen","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-plastic-pollution","tag-sports-retail","tag-yleinen"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140744","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140744"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140744\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140744"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140744"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140744"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
