Recycling has inspired a range of apparel brands, including Levi’s, H&M, Nike and PUMA to name but a few, which launched a plethora of dedicated projects around the globe, creating new items from old things and encouraging people to participate. PUMA, which created Clever Little Bag and Re-Suede shoe, has recently launched another recycling project, the campaign dubbed PUMA Bring Me Back Program, inviting people to donate their old clothing and footwear to a good cause—contributing to a healthier environment—instead of sending it to the landfill.

PUMA has teamed up with African artists to create football kits for the brand’s 10 partnered African National football teams. Renowned artists from the Creative African Network (CAN), a platform supported by PUMA that connects and promotes artists from Africa, took a hand in creation of colorful kits collection inspired by the country’s heritage. The collection is now exhibited at the Design Museum, London. 

With its numerous social and educative initiatives, PUMA spreads the message of peace and love all around the globe—as part of this commitment, the sports lifestyle giant supports independent documentary and encourages people in developing countries around the globe to ‘kick the ball’ as well as helps address environmental problems. But PUMA is not only the brand which ‘operates on the ground,’ it also reaches out into the sea with its marine preservation campaign. Now, ahead of the Volvo Ocean Race, in which the brand is participating, it has launched a short environmental documentary film ‘Home Oceans,’ dedicated to the modern problems of sea and focusing on the most troubling issues such as rising floodwaters, changes of ecosystems, extinction of sea animals to name but a few.
