People nowadays are more in line with the pursuit of individuality and healthy living ideas. "Low-carbon green" concept has been added into footwear industry. How to create a "Low-carbon, Green" shoe brand? Here Globalshoes.net has summarized some points:
a. Using environmental friendly raw material
These years, the shoe industry is booming and the life expectancy of shoes is shriveling. According to statistics, worldwide shoe production increased 70 percent, reaching 17 million in 2004. Many of these shoes end up finding a home in landfills when their trendness expires. In the UK, 100 million pairs of shoes are disposed each year, many of which are still functional. Pollutants emitted during the production and distribution of footwear becomes a big problem. Materials used to produce shoes- include leather, glues, solvents, plastics, rubber,etc. All the material contains different chemical pollutant. The chemical pollutants emitted during the production and distribution of footwear has become a serious threat to the ecological environment.
Looking at the global footwear market, most in the industry have higher environmental awareness now. Shoe enterprises are bound to use environmental friendly shoe materials like recycled polyester, rice husk rubber, and water-based adhesives to enhance their brand's core competitiveness, which reduces environmental pollution and waste of resources and further promote the realization of low-carbon environment.
b. Energy Saving
Using one kind or several kinds of environmental friendly martial doesn't mean environmental protection. The fabrication of shoes requires large amount of energy. Except for adopting environmental friendly materials, footwear enterprises should pay attention to energy-saving and emission reduction To get rid of those outdated business model to reduce emissions and promote shoe recycling.
c. Technology Innovation
To create "Low-carbon" shoe brand, footwear enterprises should take full advantage of technological innovations and learn successful experience from international and domestic companies. More and more enterprises competes to establish an independent brand shoes R & D center, and constantly enhance the strength of scientific research team, committed to shoe technology research and development. For example, Nike Air running shoes R & D, Anta sports science laboratory, Xidelong life movement promoted by science and technology.
Thus, low-carbon economy has become a big trend. Shoe enterprises should pay attention to environmental protection in production, adopt environmental friendly materials, scientific work flow and ensure emissions from the production process reasonable. Low carbon technology innovation will be the focus of future development of footwear enterprises.
