RE49

SUSTAINABILITY ETHOS

All RE49 shoe collections are made with the circular economy model and are PETA approved vegan. Our production method is 100% carbon neutral, and we aim at reducing our footprint to zero in less than five years, also by partnering with companies that share our concerns and objectives. Moreover, we are planning to switch to renewable energy and implement water saving methods during manufacturing. To create our shoes, we use waste materials like beach chairs, sails and fabrics without processing them, so that we can further cut on emissions, and we are investing in novel solutions to minimise the amount of material we use in the first place. And in the spirit of fewer, better things, RE49 takes extra effort to make most of the shoes all-season appropriate and we are also exploring new solutions to increase their durability. When their mission is completed, we want to convert our shoes into a new product: this way, we would minimise the chance of waste and create a closed-loop circular economy solution. We also apply the Blockchain technology to our products to shift towards a more transparent market and ensure full traceability of all materials within our supply chain
