Let's dive deeper into how these practices bolster our mission to lower our carbon footprint while delivering fashionable, eco-conscious footwear options.

Eco-Friendly Materials and Sourcing: A Greener Foundation

Utilizing sustainable materials is a pivotal aspect of our production process at Cariuma. We meticulously select raw materials with the environment in mind, ensuring that sustainability is woven into the very fabric of our footwear. This commitment to eco-friendly materials extends to everything we produce, from the soles of our shoes to the laces.

• Natural Rubber: Sourced sustainably from rubber trees, our soles provide excellent traction and durability while being biodegradable.
• Recycled Materials: Many of our styles incorporate recycled items, like plastic bottles, which are transformed into polyester, significantly reducing waste in landfills.
• Organic Cotton: Grown without harmful pesticides and fertilizers, organic cotton is another critical ingredient in our shoes, ensuring comfort and breathability.

The sourcing of these sustainable materials is not only beneficial to the environment but also supports local communities and economies. We partner with suppliers who share our values, thus cultivating an ethical and responsible supply chain.
