In recent years, the quantity of agri -food waste used to create sustainable products has gone from 0 to over 30 tons per month. Appleskin is one of these, derived in part from the polymerization of skins and apple torsoli. 310 million of new plastic are produced and placed on the market every year, and only 9% of this is recycled. That's why we chose to use recycled polyester for some components of our sneakers, such as the upper, the laces, the label, and the tape. The sole is also composed of 30% from recycled rubber. Ecological packaging inside the recycled cardboard packaging you will also find a ball of earth and seeds covered with clay: to plant in a pot, or to be launched in a gray area of your city.
