PUMA x FIRST MILE collection isn’t just about turning plastic into product. This is a collection rooted in cooperative opportunity and human connection—one that threads people together around a decision to do better. First Mile is a people-focused network that strengthens micro-economies in Taiwan, Haiti, and Honduras by collecting plastic bottles to create jobs and reduce environmental waste. Through First Mile, this plastic is sorted, cleaned, shredded, and turned into yarn that makes products with purpose. The pieces in this collection are made from post-consumer plastic collected in Taiwan.
Stronger communities, cleaner planet—from the first mile forward.
