Blueview biodegradable shoes.
Discarded biodegradable shoes are a particularly voluminous form of waste, with their molded rubber soles attached to often synthetic uppers. However, Blueview shoes reportedly offer a more eco-friendly alternative, as they are claimed to completely biodegrade once discarded.
Developed by the University of California – San Diego spin-off company Algenesis, the Blueview shoes feature uppers made from machine-woven hemp/eucalyptus yarn (plus a cotton canvas strap), along with inner and outer soles made from a patented polyurethane foam known as Soleic.
The latter is manufactured using oil obtained from algae, unlike the more traditionally used petroleum oil. Algenesis previously used the material in a pair of biodegradable flip-flops.
The Blueview biodegr Brazil Mobile Number List adable shoes , which are now in full production, are claimed to be comfortable and durable for everyday wear.
Once they wear out, they can't be thrown away, at least not if you want them to biodegrade. Instead, they should be placed in a compost bin or municipal composting facility, where they are exposed to air, moisture, and microorganisms that will break down the twine, tarp, and Soleic.
According to Algenesis, third-party studies have shown that under industrial composting conditions, uppers completely biodegrade in a few months, while soles do so in just under a year. Shoes should also completely biodegrade if they end up in the ocean, although throwing them into the sea when you're done with them is obviously not recommended.
Blueview biodegradable shoes are currently offered in one model, the Pacific . It is available in black or “sand dune” color options, priced at $
And while Algenesis claims they are the world's first biodegradable shoes, other companies that have previously made the claim that they are "fully biodegradable" include OATS Shoes, Puma, and Reebok.
