Most of the manufacturing processes are done by hand, helping them to reduce energy consumption by up to 90% compared to conventional assembly. The little electricity the company requires comes from renewable sources certified by Ekoenergy.
When packing the shoes, Vesica Piscis doesn’t use extra paper which they believe is completely unnecessary. By doing this, they save 2 million liters of water per tonne of paper. Additionally, the fact that they use recycled cotton, means that a large volume of water used for growing cotton is saved (4468 m3 less water per ton of cotton produced).
No animals were tested in the design of these shoes.
More than 22,000 pairs of shoes were in production each year where huge amounts of raw material were used and thousands of tonnes of waste was generated. By creating a circular economy, the shoes can be reused in the manufacturing of many other products.
