Find out the collection points

esosport® run is today the first and only shoe recycling project in Italy and Europe.

Thanks to the esosport® Bag, old shoes can be placed in ESObox containers—made from recycled cardboard—located at designated points in collaboration with Public Authorities (schools, recreational and entertainment facilities, sports centers, shops) under specific agreements.

The ultimate goal of the collection is to produce secondary raw material through a careful process of separating the sole from the upper. This material, through the GOGREEN Onlus Association, is donated free of charge to public administrations for the construction of Betty’s Gardens, dedicated to Elisabetta Salvioni Meletiou, and the Pietro Track, a project in memory of Pietro Mennea.

So what are you waiting for? Give your old sports shoes another chance! Whether they are sneakers, running shoes, or even flip-flops, the key for recycling is that the sole is made of rubber.

Contribute practically to activating a circular economy process.

The environment will thank you!
