Partnership with Fast Feet Grinded

DISCOVER FFG WEBSITE

At SCOTT we constantly strive for improving our products’ performance to give them the longest possible life. By partnering with FastFeetGrinded, we at SCOTT will extend the lifetime of your shoe’s raw materials, by letting them be reused in a range of products, including sports flooring, picnic tables and new laces and as such reducing our environmental footprint.

Sustainability is not only about how products are designed and produced, but also how well they are taken care of to prolong their life, and how in the end we dispose of them. To learn how to correctly tend your running shoes, follow this link.

WHAT IS FAST FEET GRINDED?

FastFeetGrinded is a technology and innovation driven company based in the Netherlands working towards a better future by providing a solution to recycle your beloved shoes.

HOW WILL YOUR SHOES BE RECYCLED?

The fully automated shoe recycling machine (SRM) at FastFeetGrinded grinds down athletic shoes and separates all foam, rubber and textile components. The machine returns from 1’000 kg of athletic shoes 380 kg of foam, 230 kg of textiles and 170 kg of rubber.

WHAT WILL BECOME OF YOUR SHOES?

The grinded materials are reused in different products, such as sports flooring, picnic tables or even outsoles of new shoes. And maybe one day your shoes will really go full circle and become a completely new pair of shoes again. Help us drive change and take your SCOTT shoes back to your participating SCOTT dealer, drop them into the collection box and we will take care of the rest.
