99% biodegradable sneakers! New American Brand Koio Reaches Shoe Milestone
Mello came to life after two years of extensive research. The Mello uses full-grain regenerated vegetable-tanned leather from the Swiss Alps for carbon neutrality, a Lactae Hevea® natural rubber sole from French RELTEX sole manufacturer, and is partially lined with LWG (Leather Working Group) certified Italian cowhide , the midsole is made of recycled corn, wool and kenaf, which can keep you comfortable all day long, and the laces are also made of certified organic cotton. Shoes are handcrafted in Tuscany, Italy.
Johannes Quodt, co-founder of Koio, said: "Mello is our biggest sustainable achievement to date, we are proud of it, it proves that no sustainability goal is beyond reach, and we hope it inspires our peers in the shoe industry Let's move towards a more sustainable future."
Koio continues to introduce carbon-neutral footwear products. The leather used to make these shoes comes from renewable farms in the Swiss Alps. By prioritizing regenerative agriculture, each pair of shoes produced by Koio can reduce carbon by 43.75 pounds (about 19.86 kilograms) emission.
Koio co-founder Chris Wichert said: "Our customers have shown genuine enthusiasm for our carbon-neutral shoes. Earth Day 2022 release of recycled sneakers sold out in a matter of weeks. Everyone restores the planet for recycled leather Excited by our ability to create a biodegradable, carbon-neutral sneaker. We can’t wait for everyone to experience Mello.”
