The fashion and footwear industries contribute significantly to global waste, with around 25 billion pairs of shoes produced every year, about 95% of which end up in landfills. These shoes are largely non-recyclable, leading to massive carbon emissions and environmental degradation. At New Movements, we challenge this norm by embracing circularity as the cornerstone of a sustainable future in fashion.
Through our NM Recycling Program, launched in 2020, we have simplified the process for you to return your worn-out shoes. Each returned pair is sent back to our manufacturers where crucial materials are carefully separated, processed, and repurposed. The extent of recyclability varies with each shoe model, reflecting our ongoing efforts to enhance material recovery and reduce waste.
