Sustainability in the fashion industry isn’t exactly breaking news – more brands are swapping their fabrics, manufacturing, and fulfillment to align with the demands of eco-friendly consumers heard around the world.
None do it better than Balena, a material science company that develops compostable and biodegradable thermoplastic materials to fertilize the earth and wastes nothing along the way. The new Balena BioCir Slides, are turning heads and perking up the ears of eager sustainable shoppers around the globe, and we aren’t surprised in the slightest.
The slides are soft, compostable, and durable enough for daily wear. Made in Italy, they’re a neutral, earth tone (how fitting) and even emit a soft, natural cinnamon scent. To create the BioCir material, Balena sources some of its materials from landfills and inadequately recycled clothing, giving these slides an authentic full-circle moment in the fashion industry.
Once you’ve used the slides to their maximum, you can ship them back to a Balena facility to be properly composted. Balena’s BioCircle Slides are released in limited drops, so for all the latest updates and news on the shoes of the future, be sure to follow along on their Instagram. To help prevent waste from going to landfills and look stylish along the way, Balena’s BioCir slides are a match made in sustainable heaven.
