THE TRASH TO TREASURE MAKEOVER

Can you really power your phone with a potato?   In this episode, PUMA challenges Maya, Oli, and Mo to see if they can generate their own electricity. But here’s the twist: some of their equipment is a little… unconventional. The host who generates the most watts will take home this week’s Green Flag.  As they battle it out, the hosts also dive into the bigger picture of renewable energy. While individuals can easily switch to renewable providers at home, brands face a tougher challenge across their supply chains. PUMA, however, has taken this challenge seriously with 22% of the electricity in their supply chain now coming from renewable sources, and they aim to hit 25% by 2025.  Do you know how long you’d have to pedal on an energy bike to charge your smartphone? Or how effective a solar panel is on a cloudy day?  It’s time to rethink the electricity we use and where it comes from. Ready to fly your own climate Green Flag when it comes to energy?  Have you made the switch to a 100% renewable energy provider in your home, if so — tell us about it, using the hashtag #PUMAGREENFLAGS.   There’s only one Forever.

THE RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY EXPERIMENT

Do you have a favourite pair of shoes? What memories do you associate with them? This week, Maya, Oli, and Mo open their kicks cupboard and invite you all to walk a mile in their shoes – sharing stories that span from the hallowed turf of Wembley Stadium to cherished heirlooms—and even a nod to Rihanna herself. But it’s not all nostalgia! Aishwarya Sharma, one of PUMA’s Voices of a RE:GENERATION, shakes things up with a healthy dose of competitive spirit — challenging the hosts to a quiz about leather and its alternatives. The hosts discover why leather is such a hot topic, as Aishwarya dives into the questions PUMA has been exploring for years about this material and its alternatives. Do you know how many pairs of trainers can be made from one kilogram of leather? Or what pineapples have to do with your kicks? If not, it’s time to #KNOWYOURSTUFF! Tune in to learn more about leather, its alternatives, and why understanding the materials we wear matters. Do you have a pair of kicks with some special memories?

LESSONS IN LEATHER

Ever wondered how to smooth out pesky creases in your favourite sneaks? Or just how long clothes takes to decompose? This week on Green Flags, PUMA challenges Maya, Mo, and Oli to rescue an old fit or pair of kicks and bring them back into their wardrobe rotation. It’s all about making what’s old new again—and earning a green flag along the way. As the hosts show off their rescued pieces, they dive into the concept of circularity in sportswear and fashion. Circularity means taking fewer resources from the earth and reducing waste by extending the life of what we already have. Listen in to learn why circular fashion is so vital—and why it’s one of PUMA’s core sustainability goals. Join Maya, Oli, and Mo as they uncover the answers (and more!) and discover simple ways to wave your own climate Green Flag. Because there’s only one Forever… let’s make it Better. Green Flags is a FOREVER.BETTER podcast, brought to you by PUMA. Produced by Mags Creative and MSL. Have you revived or repaired an old fit or pair of kicks?
