The First Biodegradable Sandals In The World

In our increasingly environmentally aware world, we are all very conscious of the need to help to make, and leave, the world a better place. Founded in 2011 by Amazonas Group, Amazonas Sandals was born to fill an empty space in the fashion market, created for consumers who value fashion alongside the environment and for people who think ahead of their time.  Amazonas Sandals represent the future for a globally-aware eco-consumer and are the Brazilian pioneer brand in eco-friendly shoes.

Amazonas Sandals is not simply a product; it is a lifestyle which pays tribute to the environment and the sandals are made of recycled or biodegradable rubber with the company reusing raw material such as PET bottles and fabrics. The fashion inspiration comes from the Amazon rainforest with Amazonas shapes, colours and prints visibly connected to nature and to the Brazilian atmosphere.

Amazonas sandals reflect their customers’ taste through colour and style, while realising the importance of taking care of the environment, through recycling where nothing is thrown away. The New Bio sandals are made from 100% recycled rubber and fabric waste, and once discarded start decomposing back into the earth, after five years.

Amazonas Group was founded 67 years ago and it has had the sustainability of the environment in its DNA since its foundation, reusing and recycling materials in every phase of manufacturing, with a division of the company totally dedicated to the recycling of rubber. In addition to this, they have many socially responsible initiatives in Brazil, supporting the environment with their sustainable practices all along the production chain. They make jandals using ecologically sustainable materials, and things like unwanted and unloved tyres and shoe soles all get second chances

Amazonas Group source raw materials from the Amazon’s native rubber trees and also believe in supporting the local communities by keeping the people of the local ‘River Community’ in the Amazon rainforest at the heart of the business. They are very aware of the current problems derived from the excessive use of water, as well as the distressing future the world may face with the lack of it. Amazonas Group believe in the importance of taking care of the environment to grant the well- being of future generations in a world where everything seems to be disposable. 

So this summer you can look cool with their huge array of bright coloured gladiators, sandals and jandals AND feel good about your contribution to the environment at the same time! For more information please go to http://www.amazonassandals.co.nz .
