Indosole
Crafted from 40% recycled tyre, 30% natural rubber, and 30% new material, Indosoles epitomize sustainability. Leveraging innovative Sole Engineered Tyre Technology (SETT), Indosole transforms recycled tyres into powder, enabling the creation of each new pair. This process ensures that their footwear not only delivers on quality and comfort but also contributes to environmental preservation by repurposing materials that would otherwise go to waste. In collaboration with talented artisans in Indonesia, Indosole refined its products and mastered the intricate art of working with tyres, a journey marked by both failures and triumphs. In 2014, the brand became a registered B Corporation, further solidifying its commitment to social and environmental responsibility. Between 2017 and 2021, Indosole experienced a surge in demand, prompting a revaluation of its processes with a renewed focus on scalability and environmental impact. Their goal was to utilize 100% of each tyre in creating what they called “The Perfect Sandal.” This endeavor entailed two years of intensive effort, during which they re-engineered their SETT tyre process and developed the ESSNTLS sandal line. The result is a sandal that not only meets economic feasibility but also champions environmental friendliness, with all sourcing and manufacturing taking place in Indonesia.
Working with recycled tyre rubber presents numerous rewards in the realm of recycling. This durable material can be shredded and repurposed into a wide range of new products. The necessity of working with recycled materials fosters creativity and innovation, pushing the boundaries of product development and inspiring the creation of remarkable items.
