Minimizing our Footprint
Creating a sustainable future together
Sustainable materials
Our sneakers are made with natural fibers like alpaca and merino wool, sustainable/recycled/recyclable and high-quality materials like EVA, Recycled Polyamide/ Polyester, Recycled Cotton, Thermoplastic Polyurethane, and Lenzing Viscose. These materials reduce environmental impact by minimizing the need for virgin raw materials and lowering associated carbon emissions. WIRA shoes carbon footprint is among the lowest in the global market, between 2.0 and 4,5 Kg CO2eq/pair.
Responsible manufacturing
We work exclusively with partners who share our values of sustainability and efficiency. Our focus on made-to-order production not only prevents waste but also optimizes energy use in the manufacturing process, further reducing our environmental impact. Our process is ZERO WASTE and our shoes are 100% recyclable, due to the unique manufacturing procedures which enable an easy dismantling of the shoes at the end of their life cycle.
Packaging
Our packaging is made from recycled materials, including the shoe bag, which further reduces environmental impact. Every detail, including using recycled packaging, reflects our commitment to sustainability and minimizing our carbon footprint.
Efficient transportation
We minimize transportation impact by ensuring our products travel the shortest possible distance from the factory to your hands. By producing on demand, we reduce the amount of inventory being transported, thus decreasing the emissions associated with transportation and distribution.
Product use
Our sneakers are built for durability, reducing the need for frequent replacements and, in turn, lowering resource consumption. They’re easy to maintain, ensuring long-lasting quality and a reduced environmental impact over time.
Indirect Impact
We partner with suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability and employ innovative practices to minimize environmental impact. Our supply chain is aligned with our goals, ensuring that our operations are both sustainable and socially responsible.
