In order to raise awareness of this situation, a global movement against marine plastic pollution is underway.RUN FOR THE OCEANSSince 2017, adidas has mobilized a total of more than 8.2 million runners for this annual initiative, and has collected the amount of ocean plastic waste corresponding to the total distance run.
