What happens to the shoe afterwards?
After consumers are done with the shoes, we are investigating companies we can work with to make mulch and reuse the sandals once more. To make mulch, the rubber from the sandals needs to be made into a granular substance. The sandals need to be shredded, and then they are passed through the devulcanization process, which means the rubber does not lose its desirable properties of elasticity and insulation – essential elements of tire mulch used for playground surfaces, landscapes and equine surfacing.To help us accomplish this, we are working with such companies as: PermaLife Products, LLC 7000 Boulevard East Guttenberg, NJ 07093 New York Rubber Mulch 7 Oak Street Pawling, NY.
