Trainer drop-off scheme has been quietly shelved as haulage and tax costs soared after UK left the EU
Nike has shelved its popular recycling scheme in the UK in response to higher costs arising from Brexit.
The Reuse-a-Shoe scheme allowed UK customers to deposit their old trainers at a Nike store, where they would be shipped to one of Nike’s four distribution centres in Flanders, Belgium, to be recycled into rubber for use in track surfaces, gym flooring and new Nike footwear and apparel.
