Abstract

Sustainability is the highly demanded practice for continued success in the manufacturing and consumption of different products. In order to reduce the carbon footprint and the energy demands, manufacturers are turning to sustainable approaches in their products. Major brands, already, have turned to sustainable approaches and practices in their manufacturing processes and products either by increasing the life cycle of the product or by reusing the recycled products. Sports textile is one of the major areas of technical textiles where textile materials are used in artificial turfs, sports rackets, balls, shoes, and many more products related to sports and games, besides sportswear. Reused and recycled materials are extensively promoted and used in various sports related products. In this chapter, approaches and methods used to introduce/improve the sustainability of the products are discussed.
