July 16 (UPI) -- Shoe and apparel manufacturer Adidas pledged Monday to cut out 'virgin' plastic from all its shoes and sportswear by 2024.
Adidas' commitment said it's making the move to increase product sustainability by using recycled plastic instead. It said it would also stop using virgin plastic in its offices, retail outlets, warehouses and distribution centers, which would save 40 tons of plastics a year.
