SALUBATA: Transforming Plastic Waste into Shoes
Join us in stamping out plastic waste into stylish, modular shoes. Together, we can reduce pollution and walk towards a sustainable future!
Project Description
SALUBATA occupies a proprietary niche of modular shoes repurposed from plastic wastes contributing to the decrease in the global carbon footprint.
In a year alone, there are over 381 million tons of plastic wastes produced, sadly, 91% of these wastes have never been recycled as we have more people reusing these wastes rather than recycling or upcycling them.
SALUBATA solves this problem by providing a solution of modular shoes made from recycled plastic bottles. We have a global patent and two desgn rights on this innovation. We offer customizable. designs with interchangeable uppers allowing customers to personalize their footwear.
We cater to conscious consumers who are seeking an experience of comfort, quality and service differentiation. The global footwear market in 3 years will be valued at $564 billion while the sustainable footwear market is growing at 13% per year.
I have been working in the environmental industry for over a decade, I also understand how serious the problem of plastic pollution is, and because of my domain expertise, I am uniquely qualified to help solve this problem through SALUBATA.
We are raising $30,000 to scale production and accelerate the development of new products.
We have some really cool rewards for you to take part in our campaign. With your contribution of $220, you will receive a pair of our innovative modular shoes complete with two interchangeable uppers in classic white and black, all packaged in a stylish shoe box. Every contribution helps us reduce plastic pollution and make a positive impact on the planet. Join us in making a difference.
