1. Why Ethical Trainers Are A Must-Have For Your Wardrobe
When it comes to environmental degradation, we have reached a tipping point. Environmental
damage is a daily occurrence. 80% of global energy still uses fossil fuels, and the atmosphere has
more carbon dioxide than it has done for 800,000 years. Furthermore, eight million tonnes of plastic
end up in the ocean every single year. Fortunately, the environmental movement is growing at pace
with more and more people looking for a sustainable lifestyle. So how can this sustainable lifestyle
translate into fashion? The answer lies in ethical trainers.
What are ethical trainers?
Depending on the brand or individual, ethical trainers can mean many different things. Some will
consider vegan shoes as ethical. However, many vegan shoes, on the right step to being ethical, will
use ethyl vinyl acetate as a shock absorber. This material is incredibly polluting to create.
To take ethical and sustainable to the next level, some manufacturers are creating ethical trainers by
harvesting plastic waste from the ocean. Ocean5, are one such manufacturer who is creating ethical
footwear, such as sliders and trainers, by collecting plastic waste from the sea and, following
responsible manufacturing techniques, are transforming waste into beautiful and fashionable
footwear.
When it comes to ethical and responsible fashion, it is important to know what you are fighting for
and what you care about. However, this doesn’t have to detract from the style and functionality.
Ocean5 ethical trainers take their style and design secrets from the place where it all began; the sea.
Those adopting these fantastic ethical trainers will love the bold colour palette, and the fluid, wave
details that take your feet from the sea to the fashion scene.
