- Most disposable indoor slippers are manufactured from non-woven fabrics and discarded after a single use. This practice contributes to resource wastage and negatively impacts the environment’s ecology.
- This product design embodies the principles of a circular economy, integrating concepts such as “structural optimization,” “eco-conscious materials,” “material recycling,” “resource repurposing,” and “waste reduction.” These concepts drive the design’s intent to mitigate environmental impacts and foster sustainable value creation.
- By harnessing Agave sisal and repurposed agricultural waste, coupled with recycled paper materials, we produce regenerated pulp. This pulp stands as the primary component for the shoe body of our “scroll-style eco-friendly slippers.”
- Our approach significantly curtails the squandering of both raw materials and energy. It enables repeated recycling of materials, even permitting infinite regeneration, thereby maximizing their inherent value.
- Our innovation not only minimizes storage requirements but also drastically cuts down on the consumption and wastage of outer packaging for disposable slippers.
