WE WANT TO CLOSE THE CYCLE
In the last few years, we have already intensively worked on recycled polyester.
In 2022, we launched a recycling project to collect worn textiles in Europe and
return them to the textile cycle. Together with partners and clubs, we collected
discarded sportswear for the first time. A thermomechanical process was
applied to create polyester granulate, which was used to produce new yarn and
consequently a new jersey in 2023.

organic cotton
Organic cotton does not use
synthetic chemical pesticides or
genetically modified plants.
This reduces the impact on soil,
water and air.
Approx. 40 %
Recycled polyester
Most of our textiles are made from polyester as itʼs
ideal for sporting activities thanks to itʼs functional
properties. In order to make textile production
even more sustainable, we have been increasingly
using recycled polyester since 2020. In addition to
new teamlines, popular articles such as the jersey
Team or the shorts Manchester 2.0 are now made
from recycled polyester.
We now want to improve this cycle and are therefore testing a new recycling
process. With the support of our retailers and partner clubs, we are once again
collecting textiles that will be chemically recycled. The result is going to
be the jersey LOOP, which combines important product features
with a transparent recycling process. We are determined to
contribute to creating sustainable solutions. True to the motto:
Our Team for a better World.
