MAKING RUNNING MORE SUSTAINBLE

RECYCLE

ReRunnr has always had a simple promise - to help runners replace worn out shoes and to recycle their old ones. After all, with 300 million pairs of sneakers going to landfill every year the running community could be a lot more sustainable, don't you think?

 

At ReRunnr we support many different kinds of recycling - starting with re-using the shoes for something else in life like gardening. Yet with most runners going through 1 or 2 pairs of shoes every year, our options for re-use will be exhausted quite quickly. So we offer an easy alternative - simply pop your shoes in the ReRunnr Bag (you'll get one with every purchase of new shoes) and put it back in the post. From there it's on us - we work with these inspiring recycling partners to ensure that your worn shoes make another contribution to life and never go to landfill.
