Recycle your jeans and get a pair of sandals

by David Allen on Sunday, May 20th, 2007

There must be thousands of pairs of jeans around that are no longer worn for some reason or other, maybe they are old fashioned, worn our or just don’t fit anymore, so apart from throwing them away, what else can you do with them?

If you live in the UK, you can send your unwanted jeans to a company called Recycle Your Jeans and in return they will send you back their product, which is a pair of sandals made from the denim of other peoples old jeans.

A few little facts of interest:

Recycling textiles saves on pesticides, fertilizers, processing chemicals and energy.

If every person in the UK used one item of recycled clothing per year, the amount of processing water saved would fill an average UK reservoir.

Our Kalahari sandals have the lowest transport footprint of any sandal on the market because they are made in the UK, not 5,000 miles away as 99% of the footwear on sale in the UK is.
