To do with old shoes are common items in our daily life. They are often discarded after accompanying us through countless journeys. However, their treatment does not stop at the step of “discarding”. Reasonable recycling and transformation and upgrading not only contribute to environmental protection, but also give old shoes a new life.
Recycling old shoes
Environmental responsibility:
Old shoes are usually made of canvas, rubber, leather and other materials. These materials may pollute the environment during the decomposition process. Especially after being discarded at will, the rubber-soled shoes is difficult to degrade in the natural environment. In the long term, it will have an impact on the soil and water that is difficult to eliminate.
Save resources:
You can recycle many materials such as canvas, leather, etc., which can be recycled to make new footwear products or other products. Our factory have cooperated with a new material company last year to realize the reuse of waste materials. The method not only reduces our production costs, but also reduces energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
Upgrading and transformation
Creative DIY:
For consumers who want personalization or have strong hands-on ability, you can consider this. For example, you can use paint, stickers or embroidery to add your favorite patterns or words on the uppers; Or you can disassemble and reassemble old shoes of different colors and materials to create a unique mix-and-match style.
Transform into home decorations:
You can make a unique shoe cabinet or bench by splicing multiple pairs shoes together. Besides, you can transform a single shoe into a small object such as a flower pot. These can add a bit of fun and personality to your home life.
The treatment to do with old shoes is not only an environmental issue, but also a creative and fun process. Through reasonable recycling and upgrading, they can be revitalized. With the advancement of technology and the popularization of environmental awareness, the recycling will usher in more opportunities and innovations.
