ThousandFell’s “closed loop” process of taking back the shoes it sells to recycle them into new shoes both reduces waste in our landfills, but also reduces the amount of raw materials required to create their product, having a net positive impact. Further, the fact that their shoes are made from primarily recycled plastic and include no leather are additional facts that set them apart from their competitors. 

While additional work is required to ensure that their entire supply chain is sustainable and fair trade, their pending B Corp status indicates that they are both fully committed to sustainable practices and on the way to putting in place the necessary mechanisms to improve. We look forward to adjusting this rating up in the future and are happy to support their efforts in the meantime.
