Rebel's in-store shoe recycling program has recycled 37,158 pairs of shoes, parent company Super Retail Group has revealed in its 2021 Sustainability Report.

This is a 54.8% increase year-on-year for the retailer, which recycled 24,000 pairs in FY20 (from November 2019 to May 2020).

The program, which was launched as part of the Australian Sporting Goods Association (ASGA) Save Our Soles initiative, allowed customers to drop off their old sneakers for recycling.

The old sneakers are then turned into gym mats, retail flooring and anti-fatigue mats.

According to ASGA, the program aims to reduce the waste created from the 25 million pairs of sports shoes imported to Australia each year.

So far, Save Our Soles program has collected 100,000 pairs (32 tonnes) of shoes from participating retailers.
