Life Re-Shoes

Production of a new high-quality shoe model, through the recycling of footwear that has reached the end of its life.

Project aims at introducing a new circular standard within the footwear industry supply chain for the sustainable management of the End-of-Life shoes, the initial phase from which materials are taken for the circular design of new footwear.

The implementation of the project, within the LIFE Program of the European Commission, involves the release of a new model of footwear from the SCARPA brand, starting from the end of the product’s life through a structured collection, separation and recycling process of materials.
