Supporting Sustainable Fashion: UA RECYCLE ACTION

From August 15 to 31, 2025, United Athle will be conducting the "UA RECYCLE ACTION" initiative, which aims to promote sustainability through the recycling of unwanted clothing. This event invites customers to participate in the collection of clothing that will be reused or recycled, thereby contributing to waste reduction and the concept of circular fashion.

The UA RECYCLE ACTION is a part of United Athle's larger sustainability campaign, known as "SARROWS." This initiative aims to achieve its goal of circularity in fashion by regularly hosting these events every February and August. During the previous event in February 2025, a remarkable 9,268 participants joined in, resulting in the collection of 7,198.1 kg of clothing.

As a token of gratitude, customers who bring in unwanted clothing will receive a recycling coupon worth 1,000 yen, applicable to purchases at any United Athle store or online shop.
