Most shoes out in the market today are made using a combination of different plastics stitched and glued in very
\ncomplicated ways making them very hard to recycle. An author of the National Geographic article said: \u201cThe limits
\nof plastic recycle are currently quite hard. It takes energy to collect the materials, remake them into their second
\nexistence and in many cases, that second life is their last, so recycling extends the process but doesn\u2019t solve the
\nunderlying problem.\u201d
\nWe are joining the fight to reduce the amount of pollution caused by 20 billion shoes that go into landfill each year
\nand eliminate the problem of synthetic shoes, which can take up to 1000 years to break down and release
\ncontaminants during the process.
