Footwear Innovation: SOLE Recycled Cork Sandal

Using over 75 million natural corks from ReCORK,
SOLE pioneers a closed-loop footwear manufacturing process for Spring 2018.

In 2008, SOLE adopted ReCORK, the largest cork recycling program in the U.S. To date, ReCORK has planted more than 8,000 cork trees and collected over 75 million wine corks, reducing the company’s carbon footprint beyond carbon neutral into
carbon negative.

“By using recycled natural wine corks in our footwear, we are eliminating the usage of other harmful materials
used otherwise in the production of footwear.” — Mike Baker, Founder & CEO, SOLE/ReCORK.
