👉The majority of shoes and footwear on the market are made with synthetic materials or are greenwashing.

Conventional Slippers

Avoid conventional Slippers made with toxic dyes, glues, and unsustainable materials. 

❌ They use synthetic leather, such as PVC or PU, which are petroleum-derived. They are made with toxic and polluting materials such as nylon, synthetic, or other plastic-derived materials. 

❌ Some even have heavy metals.

Greenwashing Slippers

Greenwashing is when a brand pretends to be clean, green when it is not. It is a marketing tactic designed to mislead customers into buying their products. 

Many came with vegan leather alternatives bringing more plastic to the world:

❌ PVC: most vegan leathers today are currently made from PVC, made with petroleum. PVC is for this reason harmful to the environment. 

❌ PU is another synthetic vegan or faux leather, by definition, PU stands for Polyurethane, a plastic polymer derived from petroleum. Even less than PVC, PU still requires petroleum.
