Sneakers = EUR 169.00

The process to achieve animal leather causes extreme CO2 emissions, whereas, QURC uses cork. All of the raw materials and final products are sourced and manufactured within the same country, avoiding further CO2 emissions in transportation.

Harvested cork trees absorb 3-5 times more CO2 than non-harvested trees. Cork oak trees in Portugal help offset 10 million tons of carbon every year and harvesting is a process during which not a single tree is cut down.

QURC’s sole is made of recycled rubber, which gives the rubber a second life, avoiding this way, to end up in our oceans and landfills.

QURC works with a small high standard factory in Portugal that maintains an extremely high standard of ethics and pay its employees fairly.
