Challenges in Footwear Recycling

Bella:

Hi Don. Did you get the copy of the article on recycling footwear that I emailed you?

Don:

Yeah, it's here. I've had a look at it.

Bella:

So, do you think it's a good topic for our presentation?

Don:

Well, before I started reading it, I thought, recycling footwear.

Don:

Well, although it's quite interesting, perhaps there isn't enough to say about it.

Don:

Because we put shoes in recycling bins, they go to charity shops, and that's about it.

Bella:

But there's much more to it than that.

Don:

I realise that now, and I'm keen to research the topic more.

Bella:

That's great!

Don:

One of the things I didn't realise until I read the article was just how many pairs of trainers get recycled.

Bella:

Well, a lot of young people wear them all the time now.

Bella:

They've become more popular than ordinary shoes.

Don:

I know.

Don:

I guess they are very hard-wearing.

Don:

But don't they look a bit casual for school uniform?

Don:

I don't think they're right for that.

Bella:

Actually, I think some of them look quite smart on pupils.

Bella:

Better than a scruffy old pair of shoes.

Bella:

So, do you keep shoes a long time?

Don:

Yes, though I do tend to wear my old pairs for doing dirty jobs like cleaning my bike.

Bella:

I must admit, I've recycled some perfectly good shoes that haven't gone out of fashion and still fit just because they don't look great on me anymore.

Bella:

That's awful, isn't it?

Don:

I think it's common because there's so much choice.

Don:

The article did say that recent sales of footwear have increased enormously.

Bella:

That didn't surprise me.

Don:

No. But then it said that the amount of recycled footwear has fallen.

Don:

It's 6% now, compared to a previous level of 11%.

Don:

That doesn't seem to make sense.

Bella:

That's because not everything goes through the recycling process.

Bella:

Some footwear just isn't good enough to resell for one reason or another and gets rejected.

Bella:

So, let's find some examples in the article of footwear that was rejected for recycling.

Don:

OK. I think there are some in the interview with the recycling manager.

Don:

Yeah, here it is.

Bella:

Hmm. Let's start with the lady's high-heeled shoes.

Bella:

What did he say about those?

Don:

He said they were probably expensive.

Don:

The material was suede and they were beige in colour.

Don:

It looked like someone had only worn them once, but in a very wet field, so the heels were too stained with mud and grass to resell them.

Bella:

OK. And the leather ankle boots.

Bella:

What was wrong with them?

Don:

Apparently, the heels were worn, but that wasn't the problem.

Don:

One of the shoes was a much lighter shade than the other one.

Don:

It had obviously been left in the sun.

Don:

I suppose even second-hand shoes should look the same.

Bella:

Sure.

Bella:

Then there were the red baby shoes.

Don:

Oh, yes.

Don:

We're told to tie shoes together when we put them in a recycling bin, but people often don't bother.

Bella:

You'd think it would have been easy to find the other, but it wasn't.

Bella:

That was a shame because they were obviously new.

Don:

Mmm. The trainers were interesting.

Don:

He said they looked like they'd been worn by a marathon runner.

Bella:

Yeah. Weren't they split?

Don:

Not exactly.

Don:

One of the soles was so worn under the foot that you could put your finger through it.

Don:

Well, we could certainly use some of those examples in our presentation to explain why 90% of shoes that people take to recycling centers or bins get thrown into landfill.

Bella:

Mmm.

Bella:

What did you think about the project his team set up to avoid this by making new shoes out of the good parts of old shoes?

Don:

It sounded like a good idea.

Don:

They get so many shoes.

Don:

They should be able to match parts.

Don:

I wasn't surprised that it failed, though.

Don:

I mean, who wants to buy second-hand shoes, really?

Don:

Think of all the germs you could catch.

Bella:

Well, people didn't refuse them for that reason, did they?

Bella:

It was because the pairs of shoes weren't identical.

Don:

They still managed to ship them overseas, though.

Bella:

That's another area we need to discuss.

Don:

You know, I used to consider this topic just from my own perspective, by thinking about my own recycling behaviour, without looking at the bigger picture.

Don:

So much happens once shoes leave the recycling area.

Bella:

It's not as simple as you first think, and we can show that by taking a very different approach to it.

Don:

Absolutely.

Don:

So, let's discuss how we're going to split up the present...
