Launched LightSpray shoe tech

On introduced LightSprayâ„¢, a shoe upper made with robotics and materials innovation. The company says the upper is sprayed directly onto a last, which helps cut waste and speed up production. On also says this method can reduce carbon emissions in upper manufacturing by up to 65% compared with conventional On racing uppers. The claim is about the upper-making stage only, not the whole shoe. This is a product-making change aimed at lowering impact while keeping performance high.

Built Cyclon circular services

On launched Cyclon™ in 2022 as a subscription for products designed to be recycled. It later expanded this into a circular services program, which means the company tries to keep products in use for longer and take responsibility for what it sells. The brand says it has already reused shredded material from returned shoes to make a Speedboard® part for the Cloudrise Cyclon 1.1. This shows a move toward circularity, where materials are reused instead of thrown away.

Changed packaging materials

On says it changed shoe and apparel packaging to use more recycled materials. The brand states that sneaker and sock packaging now uses 100% recycled materials, while apparel packaging and tags use 99.9% recycled materials. It also says it moved away from fully PVC (plastic-based) black ink and toward brown boxes with minimal water-based ink. On says this change should cut paper, plastic, ink use, and carbon emissions each year. The packaging shift is meant to lower the footprint of shipping and retail packaging.

Expanded community access work

On says it supports community access to movement through its Right To Run program, company volunteer days, grants, and product donations. The company describes this as work to remove barriers and help more people take part in sport and movement. It also says it supports community initiatives and local partners. This is a social impact action rather than a product change, and it focuses on access, inclusion, and community support.

Focused on responsible manufacturing

On says it works on responsible manufacturing across design and production. It says it aims for high standards of sustainability, performance, and traceability, which means it tries to track where products and materials come from. The brand also says it partners with suppliers that share these goals to reduce its footprint and protect workers behind the products. This is a broad supply-chain action, but the source does not give full public detail on every factory or standard used.
