Or strings for shoes.
I vantaggi of this solution? Lot of: more space in the house, closets cleared of shoes that are no longer used, more free closets. Moms will no longer grumble, the partner will be happy to finally be able to clutter with something of his own, "our" part of the domestic warehouse painstakingly recovered ...
And an undeniable one social value, because it allows the construction of new public structures. Besides, of course, of new footwear.
On the other hand… the old shoe where do i put it? We need to think about this too. The esosport, initiative created in February from Eso Group which since 1999 has been dealing with industrial recycling.
The program is as simple as it is spot on: you bring your old sports shoes to gods stores which have special containers. The contents are then directed to a process of disposal and of Recycling, as indicated to Adnkronos Salute Claudio Grassi, Eurosport manager: “The first step to give new life to shoes that are no longer usable is right here: the collection of old sneakers at the points of sale participating in the initiative ".
The message given by the project, Recycle your shoes. Repave your way, summarizes in six words the entire processing chain. Grassi always explains the procedure better: “When the container is filled, the sneakers begin a journey towards some companies in our area, which deal with intelligent disposal“.
Here, then, is a new frontier of collection: the shoe cabinet - dumpster which will serve to produce new creations.
Everything is, at this point, a find outlets that adhere to the project. The managers of Eso Srl count that, before the end of the year, you manage to get to 1000 “box“, For a total collection of 50 thousand pairs of old shoes.
And who knows if one of the uses is not really the creation of ecosneakers, sneakers already on the market and produced with the tire recycling, coatings of organic cotton and strings derived from recycled plastic bottles.
