Indosole is alleviating tire pollution by intercepting tires from brokers and garages before they end up in landfills, and repurposing them into the soles of their shoe products. They also repurpose discarded burlap coffee bags into sandal straps.
Abandoned tires often become mosquito breeding grounds and contribute to the spread of mosquito-borne diseases, or are burned and release toxic fumes and oils to the environment. Shopping at Indosole means supporting human health, helping to lessen the amount of waste in landfills and remove a major potential pollutant, as about 1.5 billion tires are produced globally each year.
