About apple leather:
The apple eco leather is produced in Italy using waste from the apple juice industry. Every year this industry leaves behind a significant amount of waste. This waste, consisting of apple peels and cores, is developed into a new raw material: an ecological alternative to animal leather. Moreover, apple leather is a cellulose-based material with as much as 55% of recycled apple fiber. In short, it’s a durable, bio-based and high-quality alternative to leather with a low environmental impact.

Here it is, the Belgian cult brand Komrads with a new sustainable collection. The used materials are recycled, as much as possible, and the brand has a circular model to take back used shoes to use as materials for new production. Waste isn't waste until we waste it, right?
Komrads opts to save our limited resources and opts to avoid new virgin cotton and rubber. The materials are sourced as close as possible, often in Europe, to avoid transport emissions and be sure of fair production chain.
The production of the new collection takes place in Portugal. The ICNS collection is vegan. In these canvas sneakers Komrads have used recycled rubber for the sole and recycled PET bottles and recycled cotton for the fabric, metals are avoided to make recycling possible.
Komrads ICNS size normal to small. If you are between two sizes choose the bigger one.
Reusable packaging, yes!
We use RePack reusable packaging, to send as ecologically as possible. The RePack is reusable packaging, which you can return in any post box in the world. Less waste, in practise almost no packaging waste as the rest of the packaging materials is also recycled, except for the tape.
As the shipping costs of RePack - to send it for reuse are still a bit higher, under a certain amount a packaging fee will be charged. In any case, you will receive 300 points on your Good Vibes Club account after you return the RePack packaging (free of charge). Read more about RePack here.
