    Back in 2018, Adidas pledged to only use recycled polyester for its shoes and clothing by 2024. Now, the sports apparel giant has revealed a detailed roadmap towards achieving that goal and has also introduced Primeblue and Primegreen -- two new fabrics that use 100 percent recycled polyester. Its goal for 2020 is to make sure that 50 percent of the polyester it uses for products comes from recycled sources. Next year, it plans to work with sports partners in the US to transition to more sustainable uniforms, so expect to see more sponsored teams rocking clothes that were partly made from recycled materials.
