The carbon footprint of polyurethane (foam) is 5,28Kg CO2 eq/Kg PU; in comparison, recovered waste (such as apples) has Zero impact. Therefore, every Kg of apple residuals used to substitute PU means 5,28Kg of CO2 saved.

Additionally, you can give back your old GG pair of shoes and they will recycle them for you. To put it into perspective, 1kg of clothes collected equals to 25kg of CO2 emissions avoided.

Good guys minimises waste by creating shoes made from recycled materials and waste streams from the food industry such as corn and apple. The APPLESKIN™ comes from the apple juice industry in Bolzano (Italy).

Additionally, more than 60% of our clothes and shoes end up in the trash today, i.e. nearly 500,000,000 kg per year. To minimise waste, you can give back your old GG pair of shoes and they will recycle them for you through Redonner.
