Manchester City are urging fans to bring their old clothes to the Etihad Stadium against Leeds United on Saturday, 6 May as part of PUMA’s RE:FIBRE campaign to reduce waste.
Announcing their ‘RE:FIBRE’ campaign in partnership with the sportswear brand last month, Man City are encouraging supporters to bring along any old items of clothing to City Square before the Leeds game, where club legends Joleon Lescott and Shaun Wright-Phillips will be on hand to recycle them.
As well as meeting Joleon and Shaun, if fans donate they’ll be in with a chance of winning City goodies like Tunnel Club tickets for next season — all whilst doing some good for the planet.
If fans can’t make it to the Leeds game, don’t worry – you can still donate at the Manchester City stadium store any day of the week via PUMA’s ‘take-back bins’.
To help kick off @pumafootball's RE:FIBRE campaign, @NathanAke and @Kalvinphillips battled it out to see who could put on the most clothing in 90 seconds before donating them to be recycled ♻️

They accept all types of clothing except for underwear, socks or swimwear
The best part is, all of the garments handed in will be upcycled and turned into something new rather than going in the bin.
As part ofPUMA’s latest efforts towards sustainability, they plan to increase their overall usage of recycled polyester (by weight) to 75% by 2025 across all apparel and accessories.

Their sustainable line of RE:FIBRE fabrics are made of at least 95% of recycled textiles and other used materials made of polyester, and important campaigns like this are helping transform clothing waste and other used materials into entirely new products. You love to see it.
