It’s an open secret in fashion. Unsold inventory goes to the incinerator; excess handbags are slashed so they can’t be resold; perfectly usable products are sent to the landfill to avoid discounts and flash sales. The European Union wants to put an end to these unsustainable practices. On Monday, [December 4, 2023], it banned the destruction of unsold textiles and footwear.

“It is time to end the model of ‘take, make, dispose’ that is so harmful to our planet, our health and our economy,” MEP Alessandra Moretti said in a statement. “Banning the destruction of unsold textiles and footwear will contribute to a shift in the way fast fashion manufacturers produce their goods.”

This comes as part of a broader push to tighten sustainable fashion legislation, with new policies around ecodesign, greenwashing and textile waste phasing in over the next few years. The ban on destroying unsold goods will be among the longer lead times: large businesses have two years to comply, and SMEs have been granted up to six years. It’s not yet clear on whether the ban applies to companies headquartered in the EU, or any that operate there, as well as how this ban might impact regions outside of Europe.

For many, this is a welcome decision that indirectly tackles the controversial topics of overproduction and degrowth. Policymakers may not be directly telling brands to produce less, or placing limits on how many units they can make each year, but they are penalising those overproducing, which is a step in the right direction, says Eco-Age sustainability consultant Philippa Grogan. “This has been a dirty secret of the fashion industry for so long. The ban won’t end overproduction on its own, but hopefully it will compel brands to be better organised, more responsible and less greedy.”

Clarifications to come

There are some kinks to iron out, says Scott Lipinski, CEO of Fashion Council Germany and the European Fashion Alliance (EFA). The EFA is calling on the EU to clarify what it means by both “unsold goods” and “destruction”. Unsold goods, to the EFA, mean they are fit for consumption or sale (excluding counterfeits, samples or prototypes)...

The question of what happens to these unsold goods if they are not destroyed is yet to be answered. “Will they be shipped around the world? Will they be reused as deadstock or shredded and downcycled? Will outlet stores have an abundance of stock to sell?” asks Grogan.

Large companies will also have to disclose how many unsold consumer products they discard each year and why, a rule the EU is hoping will curb overproduction and destruction...

Could this shift supply chains?

For Dio Kurazawa, founder of sustainable fashion consultancy The Bear Scouts, this is an opportunity for brands to increase supply chain agility and wean themselves off the wholesale model so many rely on. “This is the time to get behind innovations like pre-order and on-demand manufacturing,” he says. “It’s a chance for brands to play with AI to understand the future of forecasting. Technology can help brands be more intentional with what they make, so they have less unsold goods in the first place.”

Grogan is equally optimistic about what this could mean for sustainable fashion in general. “It’s great to see that this is more ambitious than the EU’s original proposal and that it specifically calls out textiles. It demonstrates a willingness from policymakers to create a more robust system,” she says. “Banning the destruction of unsold goods might make brands rethink their production models and possibly better forecast their collections.”

One of the outstanding questions is over enforcement. Time and again, brands have used the lack of supply chain transparency in fashion as an excuse for bad behaviour. Part of the challenge with the EU’s new ban will be proving that brands are destroying unsold goods, not to mention how they’re doing it and to what extent, says Kurazawa. “Someone obviously knows what is happening and where, but will the EU?”"

Athletes Go for the Gold with NASA Spinoffs

NASA technology tends to find its way into the sporting world more often than you’d expect. Fitness is important to the space program because astronauts must undergo the extreme g-forces of getting into space and endure the long-term effects of weightlessness on the human body. The agency’s engineering expertise also means that items like shoes and swimsuits can be improved with NASA know-how.

As the 2024 Olympics are in full swing in Paris, here are some of the many NASA-derived technologies that have helped competitive athletes train for the games and made sure they’re properly equipped to win.

The LZR Racer reduces skin friction drag by covering more skin than traditional swimsuits. Multiple pieces of the water-resistant and extremely lightweight LZR Pulse fabric connect at ultrasonically welded seams and incorporate extremely low-profile zippers to keep viscous drag to a minimum.

Swimsuits That Don’t Drag

When the swimsuit manufacturer Speedo wanted its LZR Racer suit to have as little drag as possible, the company turned to the experts at Langley Research Center to test its materials and design. The end result was that the new suit reduced drag by 24 percent compared to the prior generation of Speedo racing suit and broke 13 world records in 2008. While the original LZR Racer is no longer used in competition due to the advantage it gave wearers, its legacy lives on in derivatives still produced to this day.

Trilion Quality Systems worked with NASA’s Glenn Research Center to adapt existing stereo photogrammetry software to work with high-speed cameras. Now the company sells the package widely, and it is used to analyze stress and strain in everything from knee implants to running shoes and more.

High-Speed Cameras for High-Speed Shoes

After space shuttle Columbia, investigators needed to see how materials reacted during recreation tests with high-speed cameras, which involved working with industry to create a system that could analyze footage filmed at 30,000 frames per second. Engineers at Adidas used this system to analyze the behavior of Olympic marathoners' feet as they hit the ground and adjusted the design of the company’s high-performance footwear based on these observations.

Martial artist Barry French holds an Impax Body Shield while former European middle-weight kickboxing champion Daryl Tyler delivers an explosive jump side kick; the force of the impact is registered precisely and shown on the display panel of the electronic box French is wearing on his belt.

One-Thousandth-of-an-Inch Punch

In the 1980s, Olympic martial artists needed a way to measure the impact of their strikes to improve training for competition. Impulse Technology reached out to Glenn Research Center to create the Impax sensor, an ultra-thin film sensor which creates a small amount of voltage when struck. The more force applied, the more voltage it generates, enabling a computerized display to show how powerful a punch or kick was.

Astronaut Sunita Williams poses while using the Interim Resistive Exercise Device on the ISS. The cylinders at the base of each side house the SpiraFlex FlexPacks that inventor Paul Francis honed under NASA contracts. They would go on to power the Bowflex Revolution and other commercial exercise equipment.

Weight Training Without the Weight

Astronauts spending long periods of time in space needed a way to maintain muscle mass without the effect of gravity, but lifting free weights doesn’t work when you’re practically weightless. An exercise machine that uses elastic resistance to provide the same benefits as weightlifting went to the space station in the year 2000. That resistance technology was commercialized into the Bowflex Revolution home exercise equipment shortly afterwards.

The Business Case for ESG in the Athletic Footwear Industry

ESG has emerged as the top theme among athletic footwear industry companies to bolster a healthier planet and boost governance. Footwear manufacturers have realized the upsides of aligning with environmentally friendly production methods. Venture capitalists, investors and other stakeholders are emphasizing shoe design, manufacturing and supply chain that conserve energy, reduce negative environmental impacts and are safe for consumers, communities and employees. Recycling of footwear, solid waste recycling, CO2 emission, social responsibility and use of renewable energies could be pronounced to propel ESG performance. 

An uptick in ESG adoption and evolving business strategies have encouraged investors to use sustainability as an engine of growth. Investors recognize that companies with sustainable credentials could outperform their rivals and competitors. Companies are banking on recycled sources and carbon-negative foam complementing renewable energy and less material usage. 

Key Companies in this theme

    • Adidas AG

    • ASICS Corporation

    • Fila Inc.

    • Under Armor, Inc.

    • Lotto Sport Italia S.p.A

    • New Balance Athletics, Inc.

    • Vans, Inc.

    • Nike, Inc.

    • Puma SE

    • Reebok International Ltd.

Environmental Perspective

Sneaker manufacturers are echoing the role played by the dominance of climate change concerns among shareholders and other stakeholders. Forward-looking companies have committed to a more sustainable future as they continue injecting funds into environmentally preferred materials (EPM) and durable design. Notably, New Balance is contemplating sourcing 50% recycled polyester and 100% preferred leather by 2025. It is worth mentioning that recycled polyester helps minimize dependence on fossil fuels, while preferred leather helps reduce environmental impact across the supply chain. It also aims to attain zero waste to landfill in its footwear factories by 2025. Adopting more sustainable options could gain ground as companies commit to ending plastic waste and promote sports shoes made from recycled materials. 

Social Perspective

Footwear companies are grappling with rising e-commerce penetration, fast-changing consumer preferences and demand for sustainable product offerings. The need for safe labor practices, workforce diversity, customer engagement and safe working conditions has prompted stakeholders to foster their social profile. In 2021, Adidas adopted a new assessment system to boost a range of KPIs, including training participation and resolution of workers’ grievances. The Germany-based company has solidified its position in promoting fair labor practices. In 2020, the shoe manufacturer bolstered its engagement with Tier 2 suppliers to see that company practices are in line with fair labor practices. In 2021, the company added “equity” to its diversity and inclusion commitment, underpinning its DEI to foster an inclusive workplace.

Governance Perspective

Transparency, sound corporate governance and risk & opportunity assessment have become invaluable to remaining competitive and enhancing sustainable success. Risk and opportunity management has gained ground to achieve financial goals. For instance, Nike’s Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee (CRS&G Committee) oversees risks and opportunities, including reviewing investments, policies, activities, and strategies; offering guidance; and monitoring the progress toward and development of its Purpose targets. Prominently, NIKE Global Risk Management has been at the forefront of helping Nike in control and governance processes and build & maintain effective risk management. Amidst receiving flak for lack of DEI advancements, it set a five-year road map in March 2021 to create a diverse and inclusive workforce. The sneaker maker is gearing up to achieve 45% representation of women in leadership positions by 2025. 

Incumbent players are cashing in on the rising footfall of sneakers across emerging and advanced economies. The advancements in low-carbon emission materials, design and technologies have led to energy-saving developments. To illustrate, in September 2022, ASICS rolled out a low-carbon emission sneaker with a carbon footprint of 1.95kg of C02e for every pair produced. These trends indicate the global athletic footwear market could witness a 4.9% CAGR by 2030, with a valuation of USD 127.3 billion in 2021. The immensely competitive nature of the sports apparel industry alludes to bullish investments in ESG initiatives.
