Sustainable leather-apple footwear

Sustainable leather-apple footwear

Collection of sustainable footwear made of apple-leather and recycled rubber.
The apple-leather used is composed of 26% apple peels discarded during the production of juices and jams, 38% recycled PU and 36% fabric (consisting of 80% organic cotton and 20% recycled polyester). The apple waste is transformed into powder and mixed with recycled PU and then subjected to very high temperatures.
Compared to other totally synthetic materials alternative to animal leather, this circular material is comfortable and soft thanks to the organic characteristics of the apple.
The laces are made of certified organic cotton, while the soles are made of 40% recycled rubber.
