A Sweet Solution for Sustainability | Ways to be sustainable

Innovative Sustainability Solution: AllBirds revolutionises the way footwear is produced. Normally, the global footwear industry, unfortunately, has quite a significant carbon footprint with the energy and materials used to manufacture and transport their products.

With a desire to reverse climate change, AllBirds introduces an amazing sustainable footwear item into the market, the Sweetfoam flip-flop. It merits its name due to the fact that this sandal is made from sugar cane.

This material is carbon-negative as they literally make use of the carbon in the surrounding atmosphere instead of releasing it.

Additionally, sugarcane is completely sustainable and self-sufficient as when it is done processing, the biomass that has been extracted from the harvest can be used as power and fertiliser for the next harvest.

Even more so, they rely on rainwater as opposed to irrigation.

Due to these reasons in addition to providing a plethora of jobs for surrounding communities, AllBirds has obtained the B-Corp certification, thereby proving its dedication to sustainability.
