The Problem
The carbon footprint of the footwear industry is massive. Millions of footwear are produced and sold. yearly, and most of them are produced using material that takes decades to decompose in landfill sites.
Meanwhile, the demand for footwear increases every year. According to our experience living in developing countries, people still crave for low cost footwear without considering the other cost behind it. That is why we have to reevaluate our consumption and production system as this problem may lead to water scarcity and land erosion.
The Solution
Through our brand-driven storytelling and social environment campaign, we create low carbon footwear by implementing responsible production. By doing so, we are also committed to help our society consume less energy products.
Pijakbumi has been working in partnership both with SMEs and well-established companies to develop plant-based materials which are biodegradable and recyclable by reducing water use in material processing and manufacturing, and implementing waste management and post-consumer programs in our business process.
The advantages of the process are reducing the amount of energy, water, waste and extending the life cycle.
