Koio Shoes 

The conventional footwear industry is a dirty business; it produces more than 20 billion pairs of shoes a year. About 300 million pairs of shoes end up in landfills each year, with most taking 30-40 years to decompose because they’re predominantly made up of plastic and polymers.

Koio Regenerative Leather Shoes

If the world switched to regenerative farming, 18 billion tons of carbon could be sequestered into the soil annually. That’s like taking 3.8 billion cars off the road every year.

Regenerative agriculture reverses the solution impact, it reverse the carbon emission, preserve the ecosystem, it increases the biodiversity and promote fertile soil and land. We need healthy soil if we want healthy ecosystems (and we want healthy ecosystems because honestly, they’re essential to life on Earth)

Koio was able to develop the fist sneaker of their kin using regenerative leather sourced form the Swiss Alps

Koio Sustainable Vegan Leather Shoes

• 🍏 Apple leather: also known as AppleSkin, is a bio-based material made using the leftover pomace and peel from the fruit juice and compote industry. The fabric is created by first taking the recovered apple waste and reducing it to a powder. The apple leather used in our products is made using 50% apple waste mixed with 50% PU, coated onto a cotton/polyester canvas. Ecological, breathable, waterproof, and durable fabric has been a game-changer in the industry. Apple Leather
