overview

Around 100,000 tonnes of football kits end up in landfills in the UK each year – the equivalent to around 500 million football shirts at a rate of 951 shirts per minute, according to Green Football.

Yet, there is more than enough perfectly good sports kit already in circulation that can be used. Head to a local charity shop or go online to sites such as Vinted, Preworn, Thrift+ or Debop or search out options in your local community for second hand sports kit. Get yourself kitted out and do something sporty in entirely second hand kit.
