Native Plant Shoe
Americans alone throw away 300 million pairs of shoes each year, a staggering amount that creates a commensurate amount of waste. Native Shoes plans to combat the problem with the Plant Shoe. 100% animal-free, it's made with sustainable plant-based materials like pineapple husks, linen, kenaf fiber, eucalyptus pulp, hevea milk (used to make the latex outsoles), and cotton. All of which makes the shoe both biodegradable and compostable, ensuring that it won't be taking up space in a landfill decades from now.
