BROOMFIELD, Colo., May 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Crocs, Inc. (NADSAQ: CROX) invites people
across the country to participate in the 'Old Crocs. New Life' shoe
takeback program. All Crocs retail and outlet locations in
the United States, excluding
Hawaii and Puerto Rico, are now equipped with designated
collection boxes for fans to drop off Crocs shoes in any condition
– from well-loved to gently used or outgrown. Anyone with used
Crocs shoes in the continental United
States can also visit crocs.com/oldcrocsnew.html to
receive a no-cost mail-back kit to send in shoes for their next
life. Each participant will receive a one-time 10% discount on
Crocs products, in store or online.
"We are expanding our 'Old Crocs. New Life' program, taking
learnings from last year's pilot and working to create an even
bigger impact together with our fans," said Deanna Bratter, Vice President, Global Head of
Sustainability, Crocs, Inc. "The growth of this program is an
exciting continuation of our efforts to address the environmental
and social challenges faced by the footwear industry and ultimately
make a difference by keeping shoes on feet and out of
landfills."
The expansion of the 'Old Crocs. New Life' program follows
encouraging results from the pilot launched in October 2023. Crocs will continue to leverage
partnerships and product innovation to strive toward giving each
received pair its next best use.
Gently used Crocs shoes will be donated to Soles4Souls, an
international non-profit organization that works with partners to
create local economic benefit in communities around the world
through entrepreneurship and employment. Well-loved pairs of Crocs
shoes that may be unwearable will be repurposed and reimagined to
give the materials another use, such as being upcycled into new
Crocs shoes.
Crocs is committed to championing circular models of production
and consumption through more innovative product design and
collaboration. Crocs continues to find new ways to reduce waste in
manufacturing, distribution and end-of-life to promote a more
circular economy for footwear and all.
