The document discusses Nike's shoe recycling program called Nike Grind. Through Nike Grind, old sneakers are sorted and processed into raw materials called Nike Grind, which are made from the rubber, foam, and fabric fibers of the sneakers. Nike Grind is then used to create surfaces for playgrounds, sports courts, tracks, and fields. The document provides statistics on how many pairs of sneakers are needed to create different surfaces using Nike Grind materials.
