GreenShoes4All project
A growing number of footwear companies are rethinking their business models and creating innovative and attractive products through efficient processes and materials that take environmental challenges and resource efficiency into account. In addition to its positive impact on the planet, sustainability also gives footwear companies a competitive edge and responds to increasing consumer efforts to contribute to reducing the environmental impact of their products. That's why the GreenShoes4All project (greenshoes4all) is being developed, to support companies in moving towards greener production.
