It’s the main objective of Re-Shoes, the ambitious project in which we are involved together with other international realities, coordinated by the Asolo company Scarpa.

The initiative will be developed over 36 months through a procedure that will make it possible to obtain raw materials from used footwear and production scraps, in order to create a new generation of high quality regenerated products, thus reducing the disposal and use of raw materials and aiming for zero post-processing leftovers.
