In our current issue we devoted the Greenery section to footwear. We looked at all the ways shoe companies are working to make more sustainable footwear, from design to packaging.
Now that warm weather is upon us you’re probably on the lookout for sandals, and what better way to go than a sustainable pair of flip flops. Amazon Sandals are made in Brazil from recycled tires. In Brazil, an estimated 20 million tires are thrown away every year and only about 20% of them are recycled. Since Amazon Sandal’s inception, the company has managed to recycle 800,000 tires. That might seem like a small number, but it’s certainly a step in the right direction.
If you’re in the market for eco-friendly flip flops, you’ll also want to check out Feelgoodz, who makes their sandals from natural rubber and we featured a few months back.
