Komrads also focuses on reducing waste by creating a closed-loop system where customers can return their old shoes to be recycled into new ones.Of the 24.2 billion pairs of shoes manufactured globally each year, experts say that most of them (97%) end up in a landfill or incinerator, because there are simply too many shoes and not enough recycling solutions.This means only 3% of all sneakers are given a second life.The company collects your old Komrads Sneakers and will upcycle them into raw materials to be used in other products. Overall, Komrads is a brand that is dedicated to creating stylish and sustainable sneakers that have a positive impact on the environment and society. ---> Check out the Causeartist Partners here.---> Subscribe to the Causeartist Newsletter here.
