Understanding the Problem: Shoe Waste and Environmental Impact
FAQs About Our Impact
At FootHaven, we understand that cobblers like you are the heart of quality shoe repair. We’re here to empower your business with innovative tools and support, helping you not just survive but thrive in today’s market.
Every year, 110 million pairs of shoes are sold in Australia, with many ending up in landfills. Globally, the footwear industry produces over 24 billion pairs annually, leading to massive waste and pollution.
Most shoes are made with synthetic materials like Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA), taking up to 1,000 years to decompose. As they break down, harmful chemicals can contaminate soil and groundwater, causing long-term environmental damage.
