Allbirds 

Allbirds are my number one organic shoe recommendation!

They replace petroleum-based synthetics with natural alternatives such as wool, tree fiber, and sugar cane. They’re soft, breathable, and better for the planet

They use in their sustainable shoes the most sustainable material available: 

• ✅ ZQ Merino: ensures Allbirds wool is held to high standards of farming, land management, and animal welfare. The process uses 60% less energy than materials used in typical synthetic shoes. Superfine merino wool is breathable, temperature-regulating, and moisture-wicking, all without that irritating scratchiness.
• 🌳 Tree fiber—TENCEL™ Lyocell: is mainly sourced from wood grown in South Africa. The cultivation relies on natural rainfall, which means there’s no need for artificial irrigation and fertilizers. Compared to traditional materials, TENCEL™️ Lyocell uses 95% less water than conventional cotton and has a carbon footprint that is one-third lower than virgin nylon.
• ✅ Forest Stewardship Council® certification: means Allbirds source materials that meet strict standards to protect forests, and the animals and people who depend on them.
• ✅ SweetFoam® shoe sole: sugarcane used to make SweetFoam® is sourced from southern Brazil, where it relies on rainwater, not irrigation. It’s a fully renewable resource that grows quickly, removing carbon from the atmosphere in the process. Proforest and Braskem, and the farms are audited by a third party.
• ✅ Recycled Bottles: One recycled plastic bottle equals one pair of Allbirds laces. 
• ✅ Castor bean oil: helps us increase the natural content in our insoles. Lean, bean, comfort machines.
• ✅ BIO-TPU: Our eyelets are created thanks to unique microorganisms that consume plant sugars. Science is sweet.

Allbirds Sustainability goals:

Allbirds Flight Plan in 2021: cutting carbon footprint in half by the end of 2025, then reducing it to near zero by 2030. Now, more than 60% of the way towards their goals for 2025.
