Eco Solutions: Recycling shoes
Now not everyone can or will purchase shoes made purely from Eco friendly sources but there is a way to still help others and the Environment with different shoe recycling programs available on the Internet that are definitely worth a mention which means you could even do something good when you are trying to get rid of your latest designer shoes that you just don’t want anymore.
Have you ever imagined that your old pair of sneakers or trainers as we call them here in the U.K, can be recycled and turned into sports grounds and other recycled goodies? Now a site online called nikereuseashoe dot com is doing just that which means that your smelly old trainers are now going to be put into good use so it is a site well worth visiting which is doing a great bit of work for the Environment that benefits everyone.
There are other programs which execute different recycling functions such as sending used shoes to Developing countries where people who can’t afford the luxury of buying a pair of shoes can now be the new proud owners of their own pair. There is so much we can do every day that can help others which doesn’t cost us much or even anything at all but if we are conscious of the fact that things we may not need anymore, others can re use then we will be less wasteful which means we are living a greener life.
Wow ~ Recycled shoes ~ Love it ~ What a clever idea and what an awesome thing to do for the needy too ~ Never seen anything like this in the States. . . Hmmmm??!! Thanks for sharing!
Great idea. I’ll be looking to see if we have anything like this in Oregon.

Super plan and there are benefits as well. good job.
What a great idea. Mine are usually too worn to donate, but does anyone know if they can be recycled in the US?

I’ve not heard from you lately. I hope you’re OK. Were you on vacation?
That is AWESOME.
I wish I knew a place near me where I could drop off old shoes to be recycled!
