On Wednesday night, we hosted the first Pitch Play Pint (football followed by the pub) in Camden in collaboration with carbon reduction agency, Small99. Turns out that getting people together for some five a side is a great ice breaker, and made for some relaxed conversations over a Murphy’s (Guinness shortage still on) about sport, planet, eco jargon and the chances of Forest doing a Leicester to win the league. Big thanks to those of you that braved the cold, and for a great evening. #football #sustainability #community

DON’T BUY NEW FOOTBALL BOOTS It’s not often you hear a football boot brand telling you not to buy a new pair of boots, or see them posting another brand’s boots on their feed - you’re welcome, Oregon - but we do things a bit differently at Sokito. The most sustainable thing to do with your football boots is to get your old ones repaired, wear them until you simply cannot any more, and then put them through our recycling scheme. It’s International Repair Day this weekend and while this movement is more focused on tech, it’s still a good time to share a few repair related insights from our boot sustainability survey (full results coming soon). With the support of 9 County FAs, we’ve had some great feedback from 100 players (grass roots to pro) about their attitudes to buying second hand, boot repair and recycling. Here’s a few repair related findings: ⚒️ 86% have never repaired their football boots BUT 42% would consider repair as an option 📍 The main barrier to repair is the ‘where’ 47% cited not knowing where to go to get their boots repaired as the main challenge 🚩 Is it worth it? 53% of respondents need to be convinced that a repaired boot won’t fall apart after a few games Thanks to @liverpool_cleans for the content, and to Patagonia for the inspiration behind the headline. #repair #reuse #recycle #football #apparel #changethegame

A few months ago we started an audit of the football boots sent in for recycling by our customers. With the Scudetta launch up and running, we’ve had time to finish the job and process the results. Here’s what we’ve learnt.   ✅ 75% need varying degrees of repair  Good news as we only want to recycle worn out boots so our customers got the brief   ❌ 17% are beyond reasonable repair Major repair work needed such as replacing cracked soleplates    🛠 8% showed signs of DIY repair (glue and tape) Great to see evidence of players making an effort to make their boots last a bit longer   🔎 Soleplate separation, scuff marks, tears in the upper and a worn out toe area were the most common issues with the boots received   What’s next? As we scale our recycling programme and on board new partners to capture more worn out football boots, we are working on the following areas to maintain our commitment to develop circular practices in the football boot industry.   1). Develop a grading system. When we check through the next batch of collected boots, we will have a clear and transparent process to follow when we grade the boots to determine what can be repaired (reasonably), reused or recycled.   2). Define reasonable repair. A grey area so we will be talking to boot repairers to get a better idea of what faults are worth repairing, the time needed to make the repair, cost and how many extra wears a player is likely to get.    3). Redistribute ‘Grade A’ boots. A process to clean up and donate the decent pairs to a charity that will put them to good use. #football #sustainability #circulareconomy #repair #changethegame
