SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS + INNOVATION
From sweat-wicking fabrics to the bouncy foam under your feet, materials make up more than 70% of any Nike product's carbon footprint. By inventing more efficient materials and reusing existing plastics, yarns and textiles, we're making big strides on our journey towards zero carbon and zero waste.
NIKE FORWARD
Nike Forward is a new material made from ultra-thin, needle-punched layers. It’s super soft, incredibly warm and absurdly lightweight. Nike forward material reduces the carbon footprint by an average of 75% (due to use of recycled materials, lower process energy use, and lower material density) when used instead of our traditional fleece material to make an apparel product. The carbon footprint of Nike forward material is based on a cradle-to-gate assessment reviewed by PRé Sustainability B.V. Trims and other minor components are excluded from the results.

TAKING ACTION, TOGETHER
Did you know? The "Sunburst" symbol was created in the 1970s as a circular option
where asymmetry of the Swoosh logo didn't work. Since then, in the same nature of our
circular design philosophy, we've repurposed the logo. Today, when you see this logo, you
see one small step in our journey towards zero carbon and zero waste.
