Nike has announced the opening of a new distribution center that will run on entirely renewable energy and recycle 95 percent of the waste generated onsite.
The 1.5 million-square-foot center is located in Ham, Belgium, expanding the company's existing European Logistics Campus in the country. The facility's location close to a network of canals enables “99 percent of inbound containers to reach the local container park by water” and eliminates the use of 14,000 truck journeys per year according to Nike's estimation.
The move comes as the company pushes forward with its goal of achieving zero carbon operations by 2025 and eliminating waste from its supply chain.
