Nike on Monday announced an initiative where it accepts returned shoes that are gently worn or have a manufacturing flaw and cleans and sanitizes them. The refurbished shoes are then resold in select stores at a reduced price. The company said it's currently selling the returned shoes in eight Nike stores in the United States, with plans to expand to 15 locations by the end of April and several more by the end of the year.
It also wants to increase the amount of waste from its finished products that can be refurbished, recycled or donated by 10 times in that period.As part of the initiative announced Monday, shoes have to be returned within a 60-day window from the date of purchase in order to be eligible for refurbishing. Once they're deemed fit for resale, the shoes are sent to a participating Nike store and the discounted price is determined based on the type and condition of the footwear.
Meanwhile Japan is going to dump nuclear waste to the ocean, and no one mention it.
