CLEARING HURDLES
Breaking down barriers to ensure that all communities have a chance to play sports, learn and prosper

TAKE-BACK PROGRAMS

RECYCLING
Our athletes can join our sustainability journey by recycling packaging materials. Shipping boxes and mailers can be included in curbside recycling while plastic shopping bags can be returned to our stores and recycled for you
PACKAGING
In 2020, we set a public goal to eliminate single-use point-of-sale plastic bags in all stores by 2025. Since then, we've decided to go a step further and address our entire value chain. Some stores will offer new point-of-sale bag options in guidance with local policies
