6) Native Shoes
What happens to your shoes when they've taken their last step? Most shoes are
made of harmful synthetic materials that cannot be recycled and every year 300
million pairs of shoes end up in landfills.
Native Shoes is changing the
game of footwear using unique
manufacturing techniques and vegan
materials to lighten their carbon
footprint on the world. They also
reduce waste by collecting old pairs
of Native Shoes to give them new
life as playground flooring and
insulation. Most notable is their
groundbreaking, limited edition Plant
Shoe, the first 100% biodegradable
shoe made of all natural materials
and can be composted after use.
